Tim Trost is a hardworking man with a lovely family and a good heart. He has a passion for nature, for good food and living sustainably, for using his work to make people’s lives better, and his art – detailed culinary and botanical works — is, for me, right up there with Norman Rockwell. He has been a dear friend to me, illustrating my cookbooks and sharing his thoughts about life in general, and it has been a humbling thing, a real blessing and honor, and it’s my wish that you meet him, too.
