Rating: 5/5
Synopsis
You don't have to own a beach house to enjoy Mary Kay Andrews' recipes. All you need is an appetite for delicious, casual dishes, cooked with the best fresh, local ingredients and presented with the breezy flair that makes Mary Kay Andrews' novels a summertime favorite at the beach.
From an early spring dinner of cherry balsamic glazed lamb chops and bacon-kissed green beans, to Fourth of July buttermilk-brined fried chicken, yuppie potato salad, and Coca-Cola cake, to her New Year's Day Open House menu of charcoal-grilled oysters, home-cured gravlax, grits n' greens casserole, and Meyer lemon bar trifle, this cookbook will supply ideas for menus and recipes designed to put you in a permanently carefree coastal state of mind all year long.
My Thoughts
As a blogger, I don’t review cookbooks that often but when one of my favorite authors writes one I make an exception! This new cookbook by MKA is a winner hands down! What I love most is how simple and easy yet decadent these recipes are. I love how they are categorized by occasion everything from drinks to apps to holiday meals and they all seem doable for all the non-cooks out there. I definitely see myself trying quite a few of these over the next few months and I know my family will just love them! I highly advise everyone who wants to try their hand at cooking to start with this one because everything you will need is all in one book.
