Someone's in the Kitchen with Melanie: A Southern Collection of Timeless, Treasured Recipes - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Once upon a time in the real world mealtime was a major player in family life. Whether the family gathered around the kitchen table or the dining table, it was the setting for family bonding, for conversation that both enlightened and amused, for adults to teach by word and example and for children to learn from both. At times, it included three or more generations.

Melanie Reid Soles is a forty-something woman who is old enough to remember such family tables and young enough to live a thoroughly modern lifestyle as a wife, mother, civic leader and businesswoman. Those memories formed the yeast that gave rise to inspiration when faced with recipes written on the backs of envelopes or clipped from magazines and newspapers that had been lovingly used by her grandmother and other older family members. With the knowledge that friends, too, were the owners of such a rich heritage, Melanie set out on a journey to capture the culinary flavor of an earlier, though far from primitive time.

She tested and tested, and tested some more, until her heritage loaf was ready for the "oven." And now here it is, golden brown, crusty and yeasty. Ready to savor not only for this generation, but also for that of her children - and for yours.
