About This Book
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.

About The Author
Amanda HellwegHi, I'm Amanda. My favorite thing in the world is a good hike followed by a fancy meal with a good beverage and great company. I associate food with memories too, ask me about a specific day or memory and I can probably tell you what I ate or drank.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember. Cooking is so much more than just putting food on the table, it's creating nourishment, it is a center for community, it is creative expression, and it sustains me in many ways. I learned to love cooking from my mom and grandma, but I learned most of my skills in high school, when I earned my allowance by making dinner for my family (of 7 at the time). I cooked my way through Cooks Illustrated which created a solid foundation of skills that would allow me to let my creativity run free, copying meals I had at restaurants, or coming up with something to make with the weird vegetable I found at the farmer's market and I love sharing that creativity and the end result.
