The Generous Table

The Generous Table: Sharing the Love of Food with Friends and Family.
OMG. It’s actually my birthday today, and I just got the greatest gift ever. EVER.
My book is up on Amazon and Barnes and Noble for pre-order. Seriously.
I might have shed a tear when I saw it. I am just so happy!! It blinded me from the fact that I woke up all chubby from Christmas cookies and brie cheese this morning. It soothed my wrinkly winter skin and too dry hands. It made me believe my skinny jeans looked alright even when they didn’t really zip all the way. It is a miraculous beacon of light on the darkest day of the year (by the way of course I was born on the darkest day of the year.)
The “Generous Table” is 208 pages filled with 115 recipes, tons of beautiful pictures and tips, tricks and ideas for sharing the love of delicious food with your friends and family! Oh, it is also a total reflection of family and friends for me, and was a complete labor of love.
Please consider pre-ordering for your girlfriends or your mom or sister for Christmas! (um, makes a nice stocking stuffer?!) It won’t be on your doorstep for a few months, but it will make for a nice treat when it comes!
Again, I wanted to thank you so much for all of your love and support- I wrote this book for you, and I can’t wait for you to see it.
XOXO, Heather
Heather
I want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday for the festive season.
