Sharing a meal is one of the most intimate experiences one can have. And to have that meal over good conversation with an appreciative partner, family or close friends is even more special.   This recipe collection has only easy to prepare recipes and was created to tempt the reader to cook again from scratch with fresh, wholesome ingredients.   I encourage the reader to make themselves a drink in their favourite glass or cup and to sit down in a comfortable chair. When browsing through this book remember how lovely and lively it was when the family sat around the table to share a meal together. Rediscover the joy of cooking and maybe even go out on a limb and jot down some poetry. There is a poet in each of us!   Some of the recipes are much loved family favourites, some are old fashioned from a bygone era and others are simple country cooking.

The saucy poems have been included to give this book a different dimension. Both food and romantic poetry create pleasure. This book will make a lovely addition to your coffee table.........Ingrid
