All the Lovely Boxes!
The donated cookbooks from my wonderful readers, friends, family, and strangers who are now friends, keep coming. Here’s what has arrived!

Pimento Cheese for Labor Day Weekend
If you are looking for an easy snack this weekend, try some classic pimiento cheese served with fresh vegetables or on baguette slices.

Throwback Thursday Winning Cookies
From a past contest, my daughter Kristina won a prize for her Rosemary-Scented Lemon Curd and Mascarpone Sandwich Cookies. One bite and you will know why.

Cooking Champ in the White House
Areli Biggers made it all the way to the White House, not to mention winning other cooking contests! I’d call her a Super Champ!

Super Mom, Super Cook!
Meet a super mom who is a super cook, who also sent me a beautiful cookbook with the best recipe ever for corn chowder.

Multi-Talented Arlene
My cooking friend Arlene stopped by with a huge box of books including one from Pike Place Market with an amazing recipe for Blueberry-Peach Cobbler!

The Survival of Clementine
Clementine Paddleford changed America’s culinary landscape but has long been forgotten. Not in my Cellar. One book survived and her spirit never left.
