Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of recipes acquired over nearly a half century of cooking for friends and loved ones. I first began cooking when I was 10 or 12 years old and enjoyed helping my mother prepare the family meals. Mom did not cook gourmet meals but she made what might be called hearty comfort food. As I matured I became more adventuresome in my cooking and it soon became my passion. I love nothing more than to create a meal or some sweets and then watch my family and/or friends enjoy what I have created. I always add a pinch of love to my food to make it taste just a little bit better. With urging and support of my daughters Kristen, Melissa and Jennifer and my life partner Marla I decided to publish this cookbook and dedicate it to them.
