A compilation of recipes that I have collected, been gifted, have begged for, and have had to recreate. These are the recipes of my life. My life as a child, a young adult, a caf? owner, a wife, and a mother. These recipes make me cry, comfort me, relax me, and most of all, remind me of who I am. So, I give them to you to share in the flavors of a life lived by one of many people in this giant universe.
