I just got Laura Lea's new cookbook Recipes for an Aching Heart and it's fab! Even for happy, non-aching heart people :) There is such a good mix of healthy and comfort food recipes.

Thank you, VA! Ina’s engagement chicken is one of my favorites and how I learned to roast a whole chicken. She’s the best

Agreed!!! Perhaps a career change to cookbook editor might be fun for us!

LOTS more cookbooks at home for you to explore (or take for yourself😊). I rely on a good recipe if I’m in the kitchen, but most of mine come from the family archives. I’ve been very disappointed at times with random recipes from internet sites, so maybe NYT or the cookbook collection are safer alternatives. 💕

Agree on the random internet recipes!!! There’s more effort put into the SEO than the recipe itself 🤷‍♀️
