This is a very small little book. I was a little sad when I received it I had hoped it'd be normal size. But, I've come full circle. I like that it's small. It can fit in any nook of my home! I love that this is more than a cook book, it's an invitation to someone's home...their table. The writing and warmth of the recipes and stories reminds me of my grandma. I miss her so much, but the sweetness from this book reminds me my grandma is always close in the kitchen...
