SYNOPSIS
The wonderful Italian tradition of hand-crafted cookbooks for brides-to-be has been recreated in an elegant new version just waiting for your family recipes. Sprinkled throughout the ninety-two pages are memorable food quotations and beautiful graces, all in calligraphy, as well as the author's favorite recipes.
In Sicily when a young woman was engaged to be married, her mother, sisters, and aunts gathered their favorite recipes into a handcrafted cookbook. The book was presented to the bride as part of her dowry. The Dowry Cookbook is the re-creation of that wonderful tradition.
The Dowry Cookbook is quite possibly the most beautiful cookbook you have ever seen. Filled with touching and sometimes humorous quotations dealing with food, graces to be said before the meal, and a sprinkling of recipes from the author's family, with room to add your own recipes. Beautiful lace patterns back the pages, along with botanical prints and original line art from 1733. It is the perfect shower or wedding gift for the bride-to-be.
