An Update Regarding the Shipping of Pre-Orders of physical copies of Recipes For Reciprocity

The first wave and second waves of shipments of my book have been delivered and I am grateful for all the positive feedback and thoughtful messages I have been receiving thus far.

All the preorders of my book destined for people residing in Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, France, UK, Japan, Mongolia, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Peru have now been shipped out.

If you live in one of those countries, you have pre-ordered a copy of my book and have not yet received a confirmation email letting you know that your package is on the way, please write me a message or email at: recipes4reciprocity@gmail.com

Two thirds of the preorders for the US and Canada have now been shipped out. If you are among those that have not received your copy yet, thank you for your patience and understanding. Assuming you provided an email address to contact you, I will send you a notification as soon as your book (or books) are in the mail.

Here are a few reviews from people that pre-ordered my book and have now received their physical copy:

Mike Garcia from California recently wrote me and said:

"I love my copy! Healthy bodies can only come from healthy food. Healthy food can only come from healthy soil. This book covers it all! And the quality is second to none. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to create this work of educational art."

Seth from BC received his book and wrote:

"Recipes for Reciprocity by Gavin Mounsey offers a refreshing blend of gardening wisdom, reciprocity, and permaculture principles. Mounsey's deep insights into the symbiotic relationship between soil health and successful gardening practices create a compelling narrative that invites readers to explore the interconnectedness of nature. While I've only begun to delve into the pages of this book, its unique approach promises to inspire both novice and experienced gardeners alike. With its focus on fostering a reciprocal bond with the environment, "Recipes for Reciprocity" presents an intriguing perspective on sustainable gardening that is sure to resonate throughout the horticultural community."

Matt Powers in Texas recently received his book and sent me this pic

Matt Powers is the author of Regenerative Soil & the Permaculture Student Series. Matt’s educational series on permaculture and soil science have been instrumental in helping me to optimize my gardening practices to increase yields, decrease the work required in maintaining my garden and empowering me to think outside the box of conventional horticultural practices to stack functions when planting and see problems as solutions. You can learn more about Matt’s work here: https://www.thepermaculturestudent.com/

Matt described the book by saying :

“Gavin has created a very thorough and holistic cookbook that I suspect will be the model moving forward – excellent work!”

Charles from Maryland (in the United States) recently sent me a picture and described the book by saying:

"Recipes for Reciprocity " is much more than a cook book. Gavin lays the foundation for holistic living, then provides road maps from seed, to exquisite meals, and back to seed. The reader gains not only the "how's" of soul nourishing food,  but also the "why's". From novice to expert, everyone benefits from reading this book."    - Charles Tatch 

Charles Tatch is a Fire fighter, EMT, family man and hobby gardener.

Physical copies of the book have also begun to arrive at the homes of people in Australia that pre-ordered a copy! This means that am happy to announce that physical copies of Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table are now in the hands of gardeners on four continents!

The image below shows Andrew Barker in his garden in Strathalbyn, Austrailia with his copy of the book. Here is what Andrew had to say about the book:

“He has created this book as a way to invite people to fall back in love with our Mother Earth and to help themselves at the same time. If you’re into health, then consider this book The Bible. I’ve been so inspired by Gavin’s knowledge when it comes to everything food and health, and adamantly feel this is the future of medicine. He’s got chapters on permaculture, seed saving, companion planting, HEAPS of recipes, boosting your immune system, super foods, even regenerative poetry.”

(Andrew Barker is the Creator of the Grow Free Movement. He is a Plant Enthusiast and Gardener. Grow Free is a grassroots, community-building movement which promotes a sustainable culture of growing and sharing healthy food and other resources with our neighbors. Andrew has a PhD in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Adelaide).

Now that I am handling shipping myself for the remainder of this printing run, I am experimenting with and strategizing for sending future waves of shipments of pre-orders (and future orders) to be sent out with biodegradable and compostable packaging that is more aligned with the spirit of what I want to share with the world.
