This is a poem from one of my old childhood books that my grandmother and mother used to read to me. As you can see, it was well-used and needs tape to hold the page together!
I love cookbooks. I mean I really love them. I love to read them, treasure them, learn from them, and, of course, cook from them. To me, cookbooks take on a life all of their own. They are history, family, and memories. I have been collecting cookbooks and writing down treasured recipes of family, friends, and neighbors since about age twelve, which means I now own thousands of cookbooks, recipes, and clippings. Now I want to share them with you along with the many other culinary treasures of my cellar." - Debbie Vanni
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you, Barbara! The turkey is roasting right now and the house smells so good!
