Product Description
by Raylene Thompson (Author)
As a teen, Raylene Thompson had a less than stellar reputation in the kitchen. In fact, her younger sisters would burst into tears at the mere thought of having to eat any one of her tasteless and unpleasant dinners. As her life progressed and took her to Asia to live for forty years, Raylene learned to rely on live-in housekeepers to prepare delicious meals for her, never learning to cook herself until she returned home to America to care for her aging parents. In a collection of family recipes that highlight cuisines from around the world, Raylene shares a multitude of her late mother's tasty and easy-to-prepare dishes that combine great tastes from international kitchens and utilize crisp, fresh ingredients from local family farms and markets. Her delectable recipes include hot clam dip, melted brie in a crust, apricot nut bread, Flemish beer stew, teriyaki chuck roast, chicken satay and peanut sauce, English toffee ice box pudding, and soft and chewy peanut butter cookies. In this delightful cookbook, a daughter serves tribute to her late mother by sharing simple yet delicious recipes that teach home cooks around the world that preparing a wonderful meal is one of the best ways to show love.
