Season with lots of laughter, more than a few pets, a lot of "extended family," and frequent meals together. Stir and mix frequently. Gets better with age. When good friend Sheila Taylor Wells said, half jokingly, "We should write a cookbook together," I took her seriously. I think she was probably dismayed at the time, for I immediately sat down and pounded out five thousand words about my childhood. For me, food is also about continuity--and change. I bring to the table today the recipes of my mother, still often used and some, I'm sure, from her mother. I bring a few from my ex-husband's Jewish tradition. So my cooking preserves the past and carries it on for my children and grandchildren. Zusammenfassung A cookbook that includes over 160 recipes! from appetizers to desserts.
