"When we lived closer to fire, when our lives depended upon the careful tending of the hearth, we had before us a symbol of the need for nourishment that lay deep in our souls." So begins Serving Fire, and enchanting—and perhaps enchanted—offering of hearth lore and earth culture by Anne Scott. Food, family, mythology, history, and nature come together in a glowing hymn to hearth and home, sung with the quietly powerful voice of her own experiences. This is a feast for the eye as well as the heart.
