Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow | Harvest for gifting me a digital ARC of this unique cookbook by Rosie Grant. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Food is a nostalgic thing that brings families together, so much so that some people immortalize their recipes on their gravestones. Rosie Grant researched this phenomenon and now shares 40 of the recipes she has found, each accompanied by a story and pictures of the food, family, and gravestone.
What a beautiful concept and it was perfectly executed. I was enthralled with the stories and the pictures and the recipes were the proverbial icing on the cake! I also appreciated the respectful way everything was presented, with helpful hints on preserving your own legacy for your family. I enjoyed Rosie's own personal connection to the Congressional Cemetery in Washington DC and thought the community activities there were wonderful. This book didn't make me sad; instead, it is a beautiful tribute to family connection through food.
