  • I love all your recipes. Every single one is super tasty. I bought your book after making food from your website. The recipe coupled with the instructional photos is so helpful. Every single recipe has been so tasty. I am sharing your website with my friends and all the gifts for friends have been your recipe book. My goal is to make every item in your book and adding your online recipes when I need to use a specific item.

    There was once a recipe that I did not like. Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon & Chives. I believe the excess use of bacon grease was overpowering. I can’t find the recipe when on search on your site. However, I see you have many other options on deviled eggs.

    Thanks for offering your recipes. It has been a great distraction recently.

    • So glad you enjoy the recipes, Lene (and I really appreciate your support of the cookbook)! 💓
