Flash prose, poetry, and essays inspired by her kitchen, garden, and family memories; Nadja Maril's chapbook, RECIPES FROM. MY GARDEN is a sensual feast for the soul. Drawing upon her life experiences as an artist's daughter, antiques dealer, journalist, and author; Maril mines simple objects for meaning and creates a lavish buffet.

"Suffused with the tastes of cilantro, mint, and cucumber fresh from a garden, the smell of salt air from the ocean's edge, the familiar scent of coffee and tobacco from a father's hug, or the simple pleasure of the sounds of clicking insects through a backdoor screen, Nadja Maril's lovely and sensitive RECIPES FROM MY GARDEN is a feast for the senses and a balm for the spirit. While exploring personal memories that touch on abstract questions of identity and history, Maril also reminds us of the tiny yet profound comforts of earthly existence."

--Aaron Hamburger, author of HOTEL CUBA. 924 characters

"In RECIPES FROM MY GARDEN, Nadja Maril casts a richly sensual literary spell. From the deft and resonant garden-inspired pieces that find the taste of 'summer' in basil and celebrate the 'welcoming gaze of sunflowers, ' to the sharply observed portraits of small yet potent memories- buying a perfect dress with her mother; baking a cake 'too beautiful to be cut'-- Maril mines moral and spiritual meaning from everyday life. The promise Maril makes about a 'chicken and rice' recipe is true of this whole vibrant chapbook: 'soul nutrition it will provide.' "

--Elizabeth Searle, novelist and scriptwriter (A FourSided Bed; I'll Show You Mine)-105 wprds

"RECIPES FROM MY GARDEN celebrates the splendor of traversing a literary life and surviving the time of Covid. Nadja Maril's first collection of poetic prose, flash memoir, and poetry introduces us to her family, her nurtured garden, and the myriad spaces she navigates to cope with our world. With true artistic excellence, Nadja's words yearn for an understanding of what troubles us, inviting us into a landscape of riddles, questions and puzzles."

--Indigo Moor, author of Everybody's Jonesin' for Something--

" [RECIPES FROM MY GARDEN] is a treasure of small love stories: odes to beloved kitchens, and vegetable gardens, and the simple joys of a blooming sunflower. It is a book of memory and of pleasure that speaks of the love of family across many generations. The passed-down recipes inside the pages are themselves the most generous kind of love letter."

--Susan Conley, author of Landslide--
