Food is so often the centerpiece for gatherings in my family. We are all about creating a meal that brings us together and can often be found sitting around a table for hours, long after the meal is finished chatting and sipping wine or spending a day creating 5 or more "courses" to sample as we play games or watch the big game. While there are many recipes that are near and dear and are at the core of many family traditions, we are also an adventurous bunch and love trying new things. This book is a collection of both old, traditional family heirloom recipes and modern favorites. You'll find a wide spread of recipes including traditional Vietnamese food, German food, southern cooking classics, and lots of restaurant recreations. All proceeds from the sale of this book go towards funding IVF for the author and her husband.
