Food From the Family Tree is a collaborative effort between two sisters, Patricia Bell, a former Gourmet magazine editor, and Bonnie Rasmussen, who produced the book's hundred or so witty and whimsical line-drawing illustrations. The book is a light-hearted culinary journey through three generations of the authors' family. It takes the home-cooked comfort food that their grandmother made and traces its route through their mother's kitchen and finally on down into their own kitchens. The 250+ recipes stay true to their roots of homey comfort but are streamlined for today's life styles with make-ahead hints, time-saving shortcuts, health-conscious suggestions, and international flavor accents. Through the stories that introduce each recipe, you will meet the authors, their mother and grandmother, and step into their kitchens. Page by page, you will find yourself sharing their love of cooking (and eating!) and be able to recreate the easy everyday dishes that they make for family and friends. As the book is essentially about food and family, it makes a great gift for grandmothers, mothers, and daughters alike.Price:
