This cookbook from Debbie Macomber is set up just like any
other cookbook: breakfast, appetizers, soups and salads,
mains, sides, desserts and drinks. The book's filled with
delicious sounding recipes, easy to follow instructions, and
glossy photos.
Some of the recipes contain variations on how to make the
dish vegetarian. Many of the recipes contain information on
how to store leftovers and how long those leftovers will
keep. There are also recipes which contain shortcuts such as
puff pastry from the grocer's freezer or crescent rolls.
But DEBBIE MACOMBER'S TABLE is special because it talks
about her family, her book characters, and her life. There's
a section of sample
menus in case everything sounds so delicious you're not
sure where to start. A special recipes list for special
events could be useful for planning purposes. There's also
several gift ideas from special tea blends to gifts in a
jar to holiday baking.
DEBBIE MACOMBER'S TABLE is almost as good as being invited
over for a family dinner at the Macomber house -- almost.
She’s welcomed you to the Rose Harbor Inn in Cedar Cove,
and now the beloved author invites you to take a seat at
her table in a new cookbook featuring her favorite
recipes. For Debbie Macomber, food means family—recipes
and holiday traditions are passed down through
generations, and meals provide opportunities for everyone
to gather and share their love. In this treasure trove
you’ll find one hundred delicious dishes that have become
Debbie Macomber’s staples, some inspired by her novels
and others by family and friends, including:
• Baked Oatmeal—a comforting start to the day, and
something Jo Marie would serve her Rose Harbor Inn
guests.
• Grilled Fish Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Sauce—a perfect
date night delight for Nichole and Rocco from A Girl’s
Guide to Moving On
• Gratitude Bread—a wonderful way to express appreciation
for the loved ones in your life, a gift that Shay from
Any Dream Will Do would bake for her neighbors
• Honey-Chipotle Oven-Roasted Ribs—a mouthwatering dish
created by Debbie’s son-in-law, but Sam Carney from If
Not for You would easily whip up a succulent platter for
friends
• Eggnog Cookies—a sweet treat that Merry would give to
Bright in Debbie’s Christmas classic
• Guinness Pot Pie—a meaty show-stopping sensation that
could win the heart of a hero in any of Debbie’s books,
or the hero in your life
You’ll also discover Macomber go-to favorites—Roasted
Sesame Asparagus, Debbie’s Light Clam Chowder, Cookies
and Cream Frozen Dessert. And no cookbook would be
complete without Debbie’s guilty pleasure: seasoned
popcorn.
Loaded with gorgeous full-color photographs and memorable
stories about the author’s cherished traditions, Debbie
Macomber’s Table embraces the idea that food is more than
nourishment. It is a blessing that brings family and
friends together.
