5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Stir, Laugh, Repeat: (Kindle Edition)
My wife and I were vacationing in the Hudson Valley recently and stopped
at a quintessential northeastern town for lunch. Afterwards we browsed
an antique store where we bought a very old and heavy wooden rolling
pin. I thought at the time, what fascinating stories and recipes this
antique must hold. Now I've some idea. "Stir, Laugh, Repeat" is a
cookbook that delivers not only delicious snacks, meals and desserts,
but stories behind them--real life events that contribute as much to the
experience of preparing the meals as the recipes themselves. Martha
Cheves has a refreshing sense of humor, a sweet lady--like having a
favorite relative in the kitchen advising you. ("Chuck's Fruit Salad" is
a quick fix and a favorite). "Stir, Lauch, Repeat" would make a nice
stocking stuffer for anyone you know who'd enjoy a warm and friendly
hand in the kitchen.
