I'm a home cook, lifelong food lover, and someone who believes some of the best memories are made around the kitchen table.
The Food That Fed My Family started simply: I wanted to put all of our family's favorite recipes in one place for my kids. But somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn't just collecting recipes. I was collecting little pieces of our life together.
The recipes in this book are a mix of old and new—some passed down, some discovered, some created, and plenty changed along the way. They're the things I've made again and again, the dishes my family asks for, and the food that has filled our table through ordinary weeknights, holidays, celebrations, and everything in between.
My philosophy about food is pretty simple: make good food, make too much of it, invite people over, and stay at the table a little longer.
I hope you'll cook from this book, scribble notes in the margins, change things to suit your family, and find a few recipes that eventually become your recipes too.
Most of all, I hope you enjoy making them as much as my family and I have.
