Cookbooks are what inspired me to learn to cook. I was a young mother estranged from my own mother very much longing for a connection to something other than my needy babies. I turned to cookbooks and gardening and it felt like home the home I had been missing in my adolescents.
I sift through the pages eager to see the next tantalizing photographs and intriguing recipes on each page. Each week they help me plan my families weekly meals around what sparks joy and also what's in my freezer/pantry.
I like to think of my personal collection as small but mighty. And then there's my revolving library collection, that one is robust and mighty. Shout out to the privilege of having access to free books, find and support your local library here.
