Westside Farmer's Market - Courte biographie
- Drawing on a vast and unusual background of excellence in everything from studying medieval literature at Cambridge - to redefining local horticulture at the Polly Hill Arboretum on Martha's Vineyard – to managing the Westside Farmer's Market in Ann Arbor - to leading the baking school of the Zingerman's Bakehouse, Corinna Borden has become one the most insightful young voices in the local food movement.
Her experiences as a young cancer survivor and of living and working in seven countries on four different continents while traveling to countless others give Corinna global and spiritual perspective on food, health, and society that informs her novel I Dreamt of Sausage as well as her writing as the lead food blogger for annarbor.com.
When not writing or visiting another new corner of the world, she's most likely in her backyard garden caring for her chickens (who you can meet on YouTube) or reading in front of the fire with her husband, Walter -- you can find her online at corinnaborden.com.
Corinna is a graduate of Stanford University and the University of Cambridge, England.

Reading this book now! Enjoying it! It is a fun memoir and that sounds odd dealing with cancer but it is fun! You have to laugh in the face of adversity as they say!

A memoir of Borden fight against lymphoma using both western medicine and homeopathic approaches. Corinna brings the reader into her world of living with fear of death and her determination to overcome cancer. The reader will be engrossed in Corinna's memories and insights. Wonderfully written.

This was a book that I could not really enjoy. I am not sure why I did not enjoy it, I think it is because it is more of an adult book and I dont normaly read adult book, just young adult books. Maybe one day later I can reread the book and like it.

I Dreamt of Sausage by Corinna Borden is a memoir/reflection on being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Borden at first takes the common, or allopathic, route, using Western medicine to all but destroy the cancer. However, after it reappears, she turns to homepathic cures: energy healing, vitamins, minerals, the whole nine.
The book chronicles, at times, humorously, Borden's battle with cancer, but not just cancer of the body, but also of the soul, and of the mind. She learns more about being one with the Universe, as well as what it means to be part of the Universe.
While I cannot wholeheartedly say I would make the same decisions as Borden, I can say that her decisions seemed to work for her. I would imagine that if you're pro-Western or pro-Homeopathic, you're bound to get irritated with her decisions. Nevertheless, if you're somewhere between, you'll find Borden's journey to be both informative and, dare I say it, enjoyable.
I doubt many books are written that incorporate both humor and cancer, but Borden manages to do it well. My only complaint is that the dialog was at times choppy, and at other times unrealistic (and, well, at other times, entirely in Spanish; footnotes, please?). Aside from that, it can be a helpful, informative, and quite possibly, uplifting story.… (plus d'informations)
