| Publisher Description: Dear Friends, This is my recollection of recipes spanning generations. Many have been served and shared over the years with family and friends. It is my wish to keep them alive, presenting each with the same charm and grace with which they were first prepared and perfected. These jewels not only come from the recipes that I've gathered throughout my lifetime, but are also pieces of the past right out of Eliza's handed-down recipe box. Still sitting on the same shelf at Slipknot where Mimzie kept it displayed, just out of the reach of the kids but in clear sight to guide her through so many meals, its integrity remains intact. CJ feels honored each time Eliza tries one of his new creations, asking for a copy so she can add it to the collection, keeping the family history moving forward. Now, settled back in Spring Forrest with all of this history at my fingertips, it's my pleasure to keep these memories and creations alive. When the day comes that I'm no longer here to take the stage and tell the stories, it will be my secret comfort knowing that thumbing through these pages will do just that, simply stir up some of our fondest memories as we serve these familiar dishes. Affectionately, Aunt Mildred (Proudly added to the Simple Stitch Series) |
Contributor Bio(s): Obermeier, Deb: - A bit about me... I'm still living in my century-old farmhouse in Southern Illinois. My surroundings are my inspiration. I love to share my version of Slipknot Farm when I get an opportunity. Upon the release of A Simple Stitch, A Time to Mend it was featured in our local newspapers. I knew this was an opportunity, so I invited my readers to come and experience my inspiration. An open house! I recruited a couple of friends, family and my publisher to help me with guests. Preparing three recipes that were mentioned throughout the first novel and the sequel had the refreshments covered. Soon, the moment of truth arrived as the clock chimed noon. In anticipation, I watched as the door opened and guests continued to arrive until four. Familiar faces that brought their friends with them. It was awesome. I enjoyed the feedback, or shall I say, compliments on my first novel, sharing the treats and giving tours of our comforting home. As an added touch, I created a make-shift 'Antiques & Uniques' with some of Aunt Mildred's finds for sale as well. A day I will never forget. It was humbling. This cookbook has been a true labor of love, as I wanted to share even more of my inspiration, passing on recipes collected throughout the years. It was a much larger project than I had imagined. I had the vision and wanted it to be special. That being said, I can now continue with my next novel in the series and then move on to the pre-quell. Writing is my passion. Sharing what I love is a bonus. So I will continue to enjoy this amazing journey that God has so graciously placed before me, knowing I could not do this alone, enjoying everyone that crosses my path along the way. Who knows where this ride will take me next! Kindly, DebO |
