Bread & Wine


I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255

Overall rating I gave this book is 3 stars,

 
The cover of this book is beautiful and the byline on it is:

            “a love letter to life around the table with recipes”.

 
However, I could not get why the byline?   The book is not anywhere near what the byline claims.  It is on very poor paper quality, there are no pictures and the words do not even come close to substantiate the claim.

 
What I liked was the table of contents that included all of the recipes.  At least this way I could quickly turn to a page that might capture my interest with a recipe.

Also I did enjoy the descriptions the author includes of why the recipe was meaningful to her.  And I do share with Shauna the idea that people I love “gather around my table to not only eat and drink, but to also tell stories, to be heard and fed and nourished on every level.”

 
To improve this book, additional cost should have been suggested and this would allow for a better product to be showcased and also include some pictures of both the recipes and also the people who she influenced with her culinary skills.
