When we used my mother’s family silverware, I always thought of the seven years during World War II that those forks and spoons spent deep in a hole in the backyard, hidden from harm. And I imagined the first dinner after the war, when it was dug up, polished, and set at a peaceful table. Take a walk through your home, collect the knick-knacks that hold stories about your travels or celebrations, and gather them on your table for an evening of storytelling.

(pg. 32, The Family Dinner by Lauri David and Kirstin Uhrenholdt)

This is so much more than a cookbook. It does have recipes, but it also has great suggestions, quotes and traditions. I’m hoping to have a review and giveaway up later this week.

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.

I received my copy from the publisher for review and the above is my honest opinion. I am an Amazon associate.
