Katie Quinn Davies

This is an absolutely beautiful cookbook, and part memoir because the author added journal entries and stories from her travels and family dinners. It has the most photos I've ever seen in a cookbook, and they are all gorgeous! I especially loved the chapters on food inspired by her travels to Dublin and Italy, because I've been to both amazing places. It was wonderful to see her fantastic photography of both places, along with her journal entries on each. A great cookbook to peruse through!

Of all the cool recipes here what I wanted to try most was kangaroo. Now, I hear you can purchase kangaroo meat from a place ion Jacksonville but if I ever eat it, I want to be in the Land Down Under to enjoy an authentic and fresh dish.

The book is broken down into: Introduction, Tips & Tricks, Breakfasts, Lunches, Salads, Canapes &amp, Drinks, Dinners, Sides & Sauces and Desserts. So many recipes to choose from.

Shepherd’s Pie is always a winner for us. It’s preferable to serve in cooler months but that doesn’t stop us from having it in summer months (and cranking the A/C).… (altro)
