“Classic Comfort Food That Makes Everyone Feel Like Family”
What a lovely cookbook! I so enjoyed “reading” it. I imagine you now ask, who reads a cookbook? Well, what makes this one special is that every single recipe has a little one or two paragraph story attached to it and every few pages is a lovely one page story reminiscing about Christy’s youth and how food played into family gatherings and learning lessons.
The stories are heartwarming and the recipes make my mouth just water. All good home-cooking southern recipes that I am just dying to try and recreate in my own kitchen.
From fried chicken, baked macaroni and cheese, milk gravy, pot roast, Southern apple fritters to my favorite – chocolate gravy, this recipe book makes your stomach growl and your hands reach for an apron.
A definite fine addition to my kitchen bookshelf!
