I am currently reading this beautiful, hard bound book. The photos of the people are fun to see, the stories are an interesting read, and the recipes are inspiring. I have bookmarked a few recipes that I will be making this summer, and I will come back here and leave my thoughts on them. There is so much to this book, besides recipes, so I am smiling while sharing little bits of it with my husband.

A note to the author: You mentioned on page 68 how world leaders love cheeseburgers. A reporter wrote an article called “Cheeseburger Diplomacy” during the time President Bush was in office. Mrs. Bush had a very specific way she like burgers prepared. You mentioned what made these burgers just right for dining was the fresh-made whole wheat buns. I would have enjoyed seeing a recipe for the fresh made whole wheat buns. A tip for future books, would be to refer to the page number of the cheeseburger recipe. I found it in the index and have bookmarked it for a grilling idea this summer
