The Homemade Kitchen: Recipes for Cooking with Pleasure by Alana Chernila

3.0

This, my second of Alana Chernila's books, was yet again a treat to read. As with the first book, reading Alana's writing is like sitting in her kitchen, a satisfying drink in hand and snack on the plate, talking with her about food, kitchens, children, family, gatherings, and life - kind of like hanging out with a friend.

As the book sits in front of me I count 11 sticky notes stuck to pages containing either recipes or suggestions for preparing or storing foods. I look forward to trying out the items that have tickled my fancy, in other words, the items that are practical for my life style given that there are two adults (my husband and me) whose palettes and hunger levels need to be considered.

The third of her books awaits me in the kitchen!
