Book Mockup 1.png

First of all there are so many things I love about the book which, by the way I have read from cover to cover! The recipes are not complicated, use staples that can mostly be found in our pantries and are sumptuous and diverse. The wine pairings are such a bonus, and I am so appreciative of the nutritional values being added. Also such a thoughtful touch to have tastings of a few of the recipes. I thought I made a good poundcake, but you’ve got me beat."
