the heart of so many people we have met on our book tour. i was just very overwhelmed, actually with emotion. just hearing a story and my mom meant to me and all of heiress pays. and i think heritage is so important to carry on to your children. i just love the way did you it and you are gracious to have other people put their favorite recipes from their childhood in the book, too. steve: cathy s simple message of writing down family recipes while you still can struck a chord across the country. sings the book came out, people everywhere show us copy of their family rest business often in their mom s handwriting. 40 years ago mom put together a little book because she said i didn t like to cook. she even gave me a recipe for dianddidandelion wine.
