This book is a personal adventure of my life when I was a mom and a housewife and with four children in various stages of development.There were always a lot of people at our home. I was a “take a handful” type of cook but my family and friends enjoyed my cooking. My estimation is that half the people I know weigh and measure, and the other half are more random, more inclined to “take a handful.” For the former cooks there are many beautiful cook books with fabulous recipes and great pictures of tempting dishes, but I don’t think there are any for the random cook. This book is for the person who can follow a recipe that calls for “a blob of butter.”So please take this book in the spirit in which is written … just to enjoy life and to enjoy your time in the kitchen. I certainly did!As this is a “take a handful” type of book please accept the recipes and work out the quantities for yourself.I thank all of you who have contributed in some way to help create this book. Amongst the variety of dishes in this book I’m sure you’ll find some you’ll enjoy!Leia mais
