“ Heidi Noble is one of those wonderful multitalented people–sommelier, winemaker, chef, and writer. Her Menus from an Orchard Table is one of the best cookbooks to emerge from Canada's wine and food scene in decades. What sets it apart is that Noble is a writer, not just a recipe assembler. Her writing is incisive, thoughtful, and thought provoking, while the recipes are solidly grounded, focusing on freshness and flavour rather than trendiness.”
Jurgen Gothe, The Georgia Straight

“Why am I not surprised that Heidi Noble's first book may turn out to be the most important work of its kind from the Okanagan Valley, if not from B.C. this year? Not only is Noble an accomplished chef (and a mean forager), she's also an astute observer, with an introductory chapter that neatly documents the rise of B.C.'s culinary stock .”
Tim Pawsey, Vancouver Courier

“Her new book Menus from an Orchard Table is a cookbook, but more than that, it's an exploration of the idea of making cuisine out of whole cloth.”
J.B. MacKinnon, The 100-Mile Diet

“Every now and then, a chef surfaces, like cream in the crockery, whose passionate words speak for the many silent ones who cradle deep beliefs -- in the form of perfect cherries or handmade cheeses -- in their calloused hands. Heidi Noble is one such outspoken advocate for the power of food .”
Dee Hobsbawn-Smith, The Calgary Herald

“This is a book I'll love forever. It's sensitive, evocative writing, superb photography and splendiferous food.”
Judy Schultz, Edmonton Journal
