Junior League of Houston Cookbook Peace Meals

Additional Details

Description: Welcome to the collaboration that is Peace Meals, fourth in the acclaimed cookbook series from The Junior League of Houston, Inc. This book began as we took stock of our "crazy quilt" lives, and came to appreciate those special pieces of them in which time seemed to slow down and we truly felt alive, fulfilled and overflowing. Looking back, those were times of family and friends, and often, good food-experiences too wonderful to be kept to ourselves. 

So we created this book. It is a book about cooking and connecting. It is about making room for the small, sweet moments that later loom large in memory. It is about using our minds and our hands to nourish ourselves and those we love (or like, or want to know better), and finding surprising peace in the doing of it. 

The recipes in these pages are our very best. Each one has been well tested to ensure it is as foolproof as it is flavorful. The collection houses an array of dishes that have made us smile, generated "oohs and ahhs," caused a few to dreamily close their eyes in bliss and generally made us famous with family and friends. We also have included menu suggestions and entertaining ideas to inspire wonderful gatherings, whether fancy or simple. As you savor this book and discover the recipes and ideas you like best, we hope that you will make them your own. 

Peace Meals is a book for people who possess (or want to) a gift for cultivating those all too rare moments of human connection, and know that the table is a good place to start. It is a book about food that feeds spirits as well as bodies. In the largest sense, Peace Meals is a book about Life -- in all of its color, variety and splendid chaos.
