Gayle's Legacy: Recipes, Hints and Stories Culled from a Lifelong Relationship with Food Gayle Wigglesworth

This cook book contains my family's history told through recipes, stories and pictures. This could be anyone's family. The recipes are the favorites which repeatedly show up at family gatherings and are passed down from generations to generations. The stories are the same as told in the kitchen while explaining the preparation of the dishes, some humorous, some poignant, combined they create a memory of the family which will live beyond their time in this world. And the pictures, culled from the albums are glimpses of other times which give credence to the stories.

If you like comfort food, if you like to eat but don't think you know how to cook or if you seek a favorite recipe from your childhood, this is the book for you. Not only are the recipes included but it is a how to book with each step of assembling the recipe explained clearly and simply so anyone can produce these dishes with panache.

And even if you are an expert in the kitchen you will enjoy the book. The stories and accompanying photos are a delicious read all by themselves.
