I have wished for this book for such a long time, and a dear friend gave it to me for my birthday! I was so excited, the recipes are to die for and they are so easy to cook. I love the way she talks about food and her memories of it as a little girl. I love to cook everything from scratch even our bread, there is nothing more delightful for me than preparing food for our family and friends, I am so happy being in the kitchen chopping and preparing the food and having the girls right there next to me or happily playing in the next room while I am there. I believe that part of our love and excitment for good food goes into making the food taste even better, and then to sit together and eat and reflect on the day that has been or what may be a ahead I feel like the whole process is warming and an important part of our family's life.
I remember reading a verse a few years ago. It is something that I am conscious of when I am cooking and sitting together as we eat;
" We gather round this table,
where bodies are renewed,
where hearts appease their hunger,
for we feast on more than food'
So if you need some inspiration, this book is brilliant! I am officially in homemade heaven!!!
