My Great-Grandmother's Cookbook

The book by Elizabeth Gilbert and her great-grandmother Margaret is not so much a collection of recipes as it is a journey through time, transporting the reader to America in the mid-twentieth century when housewives baked homemade bread, could prepare a caper sauce in at least three different ways, and awaited a dozen guests for lunch. And lunch was always a wonderful occasion to host a little celebration to share warmth and joy of life with friends.
