The Comfort Table allows all of us to truly understand and realize Katie's appreciation (and hunger) for all things edible, especially the cherished recipes handed down to her from family. Katie's warmth and generous spirit comes shining through in this beautiful book; the dishes are easy to replicate and so delicious.In The Comfort Table, Katie dips into her archive of family recipes and updates all the classics from her childhood growing up in West Virginia, and also creates some inventive new favorites. This mouthwatering assortment of more than 125 recipes includes Southern staples like Fried Green Tomatoes, Chicken and Dumplings, Peach Cobbler, Meatloaf, and the quintessential Pulled Pork BBQ.
When I looked closer at a photo of her with who I assumed was her dad, a gray-bearded baldie. Is that... Billy Joel? Ahhh, I see. She "is" Mrs. Billy Joel. The book has chapters on starters, salads, soups, entrees, side dishes, breads, breakfasts, desserts and drinks, plus a section with tips on entertaining. A foreword by Paula Deen
starts things off (she also contributes her recipe for Grandmother Paul's Red Velvet Cake). Especially good recipes include the peach cobbler and cinnamon rolls. Nothing is too fancy or difficult, and there is a photo of the recipe on every second or third page spread.Win it!
