Cookbooks > Entertaining

This book is a follow up to my first cookbook, "Seasons in the Kitchen with Mama Farrelli", which was a compilation of seasonal recipes that I had used over the years when I was a stay-at-home mom. I loved cooking for my family and entertaining. Many of the recipes I included were handed down from my grandma, my mom (Grandma Sallie) and my mother-in-law (Grandma Marge). My kids are adults now, so I don't do as much every day cooking, but I do love to entertain. Still seasonal, this book focuses on menus for entertaining family and friends.
