I have read every book the author has written, and "all" have been wonderful books. The story lines are always strong and entertaining. I couldn't hardly wait to read this latest book, but I admit I was disappointed. There wasn't a strong story line and most of the book was recipes. Some recipes looked good, but most were probably not ones you'd try. The same characters have been in all the books and that is a plus. Each time I read the author's next book, I feel like I'm visiting with old friends again. The same was true about this book. Frankly, I felt like it was more of a "cookbook" than a fiction book. There just wasn't much "story" to the book.
I personally enjoyed "The Quilters Kitchen" because it is in a series of novels by Jennifer Chiaverini. Reading this book out of context with the other books would make no sense. In context, it was very well done because it was in keeping with the theme of the Elm Creek series. Learning more about Sylvia Bergstrom Compson Cooper and the new chef Anna was great only because it actually gave the recipes for Elm Creek Camp as well as the Bergstrom family. I've tried a couple of the recipes and found them to be quite easy and tasty! I intend to try more. The characters, to me, are real and believable. I loved it!!!
I purchased the book as the next book in the series to read. I loved being able to find the book so quickly online. It's a great book series to read about the comradery of women. It was cheaper to buy online than it was to buy it used at a second hand store.
love the recipes in this book!

what it is like to be a quilter and how to cook southern and home cooked foods as well as the importance of hand-me-down recipes or generational recipes that stay the same over the years and bring back memories.
