"Think of your favorite foods...the memories they evoke, the emotions they stir...like tasting your grandmother's pound cake and feeling instantly loved, or sipping your aunt's sweet tea and being transported back to a warm summer day. This book of recipes and reminiscences is a delicious journey of home-cooked flavors and the cozy feelings they carry with them."--P. [4] of cover.
