“Rochester Square is an oasis between the trundling traffic of Camden Road and busy York Way that welcomes people of all ages, at all hours, in all weathers to be together to grow and make things. The three animating words: clay, food, and garden summon the organism that Francesca and Eric have fostered. It has its own life, wishes, and wonder. In this book, you will find excellently unusual ways of preparing food, examples of many of the wondrous things made, and the thoughts and passionate solidarity of neighbors and friends.”
