"We both grew up in households in which family mealtime was sacred, and
the rituals surrounding eating and drinking have continued to define and
unite us. Cooking together is a way of reveling in each other and in our
union. We hope that you will find the same bliss in the kitchen that we
do." -- Christie & Jordan
With an elegant design, colorful illustrations, gorgeous photography,
and a charismatic young couple, Jordan Mackay and Christie Dufault,
writing friendly and helpful text, this title looks and feels like a
gift and is filled with classic recipes and resonant information for
modern newlyweds. Jordan and Christie draw on their experience--he's a
wine and spirits writer and she's a sommelier and instructor at the CIA
in Greystone--to add contemporary topics to the mix, such as a focus on
drinks, how to set up a home bar, how to cook happily with your spouse
and entertain family and friends. Additionally, five other couples from
spanning the country share their secrets and tips for achieving kitchen
bliss. Besides a diverse array of 150 recipes for every occasion and
taste, each chapter opens with a handful of prose recipes offering
inspirational ideas for quick dishes--from smoothies and scrambles to
crostini and sparkling drinks--speaking to novice cooks looking for
fresh and easy recipes. Practical advice like how to sharpen knives,
take care of cutting boards, and store food in the freezer, and fun
ideas like creating a music playlist for a dinner party are presented in
short, easy-to-read sidebars throughout the front of the book.
