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.

The idea for Lost Cocktails came while researching another project about homesteading techniques (lostwitandwisdom.com).

In these books I found a world of amazing and sometimes curious cocktail recipes and bartending techniques and tips that seemed too interesting to keep to myself.
