The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making: A Cookbook by Alana Chernila

5.0

Alana's not only a great cook, she's a fantastic writer. Each little recipe has an opening blurb that's just delightful to read. So is hearing about her family. (Confession: I know her mother, and have met Alana and Joey and they're honestly as fantastic as they sound). The recipes are simple, but may include things you wouldn't normally try: graham crackers, peanut butter cups, pop tarts, sauerkraut, and cream cheese. But you're also buying this book for the enchanting photographs, those stories, and just the idea that yes, you could make your own pop tarts if you really wanted to.
