Finally! Our cookbook club that has been almost 2 years in the making begins 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 29th at Cynthia's. I found this cookbook by accident when looking for a recipe for home-made doughnuts and just love it. The recipes seem wonderful (the doughnuts were great) and the author is charming.
There are more recipes listed here than we need (only one dish per person) but I thought it would be nice to have a choice. I'm hoping someone will PLEASE make the cake! I'll add the link to her website for each recipe too. Email the group when you decide which one you want to make!
Plan on bringing containers for left-overs!
