(The) Bride & Groom First and Forever Cookbook by Mary Corpening Barber, Sara Corpening Whiteford, Rebecca Chastenet de Gery, Susie Cushner (photographer)
Review This is such a welcome cookbook. It includes both partner's in the act of learning to cook together. Most are for the bride only, and given at a shower, if you are given the standard book.(It is an excellent,but very basic book.) The twins who wrote this book want to bring the couple into the kitchen. Here they learn how to stock the room with the most fundamental tools, pots and pans and spices and necessities to start their adventure. It shows how to prepare for a dinner party with modern appetizers of the new generation. It also shows the ordinary problems of how to carve the turkey. There are recipes for all seasons and holidays. All time nutritious meals take a big space. Some of them are enlivened with newer ways of decorating your table. Everything is a feast for the senses. When the bride returned from her honeymoon, she told me she and her husband were about to tackle a veggie lasagna to have during the football game. A bridesmaid in their wedding joking said, "Why didn't you choose this for me." She was married last year and might get a surprise this year under her tree. The book ends with to love and cherish, a good reminder when you are cooking or anytime of the day
