This is a stunning cookbook filled with heartwarming stories and beautiful pictures not to mention great recipes. I love the emphasis on family and how family shapes not only who we are but how and what we cook. The family introductions were great and a unique feature in a cookbook. I also appreciate that the recipes feature readily available ingredients. The recipes were nostalgic everyday recipes that remind me of home. There is a great variety of recipes that would appeal to many different people. I especially liked the “left over recipes.” I think this book would make a great gift. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wyse says at the start of this cookbook that the recipes are updated classics using ingredients locally available anywhere. That caught my eye. Some of the recipes are reminiscent of my own family recipes. Honestly I didn’t read all the text (Who reads all the cookbook text other than editors?) but what I did read was well written. Great pictures illustrating every recipe and some of the farm. Great and very doable recipes with everyday ingredients.

I loved reading through Wyse's cookbook and making plans to bake so many of his recipes. His Instagram feed is always inspiring and his personality shines through in the book. I cannot wait to purchase it for my own library!
