Recipes from the Other Side

In kitchens throughout the world, many home cooks are guided on their culinary quests by a loved one who has crossed over. In a collection of recipes and anecdotes from many different places and times, clairvoyant Carole Mann highlights the timeless gifts that often accompany handed-down recipes.

Carole not only shares recipes and stories from famous chefs such as Bobby Flay, Paula Deen, Simon Majumdar, and Ree Drummond but also from seasoned home cooks in her own life like Maggie Bednarz, who is famous for her homemade Portuguese biscoitos; Lori Siefman, who is known for her lemon meringue pie; and Granny Souza, who never forgot to place a delicious dish of her baked beans on the table for every dinner. Included are photos of each dish, detailed preparation instructions, and serving size information.

Recipes from the Other Side offers a comforting place for both seasoned and novice chefs to reflect on their own warm memories while preparing dishes from around the world.
