Family Fare is compiled of over three hundred authentic family recipes, including many traditional favorites such as gnocchi, pierogi, pasta fagioli, italian beef, pepperoni bread, Caesar salad, and ravioli. Included are recipes for every meal and every occasion, from simple antipasto, pizza, and breads to wonderful roasts and vegetable dishes to delicious desserts. Laid out in an easy-to-use format for great results when you cook. Personal comments accompanying each recipe add much interest. The title of this cookbook, Family Fare, evolved from a place this family had on Lake Anna, Virginia, called Family Affair, where most of the children of the family—children, foster children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren—grew up, thus the name Family Affair. This family has always cooked together and played together, and this cookbook is Kathy's legacy for her family and close friends. Those who know her have such lasting memories of the wonderful gatherings at the lake and in their home throughout the year. The Christmas season always begins with a celebration of good food, drink, and loving fellowship! Life is all about making memories, and what better way than through sharing good food and good fellowship! Come now, explore, prepare, taste, share, and enjoy!
