Congratulations to our giveaway winner, Erin who won the KitchenAid Crystal Blue Diamond Blender. The dishes that define her as a cook are dirt bars and macaroni and cheese!
As we crossed into 2015, we knew three things were sure to happen—Maggy’s baby would be born, our mother/grandmother would die, and our book—Three Many Cooks: One Mom, Two Daughters, Their Shared Story of Food, Faith, and Family—would be published. Dashiell Collins Keet was born on January 16th, Della Ruth Skipper died on March 18th, and our book will hit the shelves next week on April 14th.
This book is really the story of who we are, the food and the people we love, and what cooking has come to mean for us and our communities. We have a lot to say about our book, but on this day, we’ll let the video trailer speak for itself. A big, heartfelt thank you to our friends Deb and Rod Smith of SmithBites for so beautifully filming and producing it.

To celebrate the launch of our book, KitchenAid is giving away a Crystal Blue Diamond Blender which is my favorite, most used KitchenAid appliance (Sharon’s is the Pro Line Stand Mixer and Mom’s is the Pro Line Tea Kettle.) We love the Crystal Blue color, particularly because it matches our book jacket! To enter, just tell us: What’s the dish that defines you as a cook? What are you best known for? Giveaway ends Tuesday, April 14 at 12:00 PM EST!
no doubt our recipes are about celebrating the places we’ve been and the people we love…..Sweet William’s Fancy Chocolate Chip Cookies is my signature recipe….http://goodgriefcook.com/tag/sweet-william/
We regularly make shove it in the oven chicken for guests and they always love it!
I am so excited to get my book in the mail! I would say the thing most requested by my family and friends is my sweet potatoes. I picked up on how to make them by watching my grandma cook.
I get requests for my potato salad. 🙂
On holidays my family expects me to make asparagus casserole, a recipe I learned as a young teen from a step grandmother, it was never written down
My family always expects me to make a good taco bar 🙂 Yummy chicken/Shrimp and all the fixings.
My favorite dish to make, that defines me as a cook is my seafood and vegetable pasta. I love using fresh, organic ingredients – wild salmon, seasonal vegetables,, fresh pasta, local heavy cream and a little wine too!
my focaccia bread (https://cookingforthefam.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/rosemary-focaccia-bread-no-knead/)
My homemade all from scratch apple pie.
I’d have to say my Rocky Road–made with homemade marshmallow and salted peanuts that are enrobed in dark chocolate. It was my signature product when I owned my own business…and I cannot get away without making it wherever I go!
Mostly my super cinnamony oatmeal cookies, but my loaded salads are catching on too!
I’m most known for my spinach artichoke dip!
My New York cheesecake. Thanks! And Congratulations!
Pies! Fruit pies (sour cherry, peach-raspberry, apple, blueberry) have been the favourite birthday treat for 18 years and running and I love sharing/giving those memories with my family.
Blueberry cheesecake
My kids love my enchiladas, but I’m better known for my baking–currently their favorite are my Lemon-Cranberry scones.
Everyone tells me they love my lasagna!
A friend shared her apple crisp recipe with me years ago. It is the best–nothing else even comes close.
My husband loves my pot roast cooked with potatoes and carrots and my daughter loves my red velvet cake. Congratulations and blessings!
Connie
My cake pops define. I love that I can sculpt the cake pops into any shape and any color. Also I am known for my red velvet cookies!
Pie. I use my mom’s piecrust recipe which is always a huge hit. I make coconut cream, blueberry (with Cointreau and toasted almonds, apple crumb, shoo fly…the list goes on.
Spaghetti Casserole is easily my defining dish – or at least it’s the dish most frequently requested over years of family gatherings. I’ll have to come up with a new way of preparing it though to make it more figure friendly, since we changed our diet this past year. : )
My family waits all day while I pick organic black raspberries, stand at the stove making jam and then serve it with warm bread straight from the oven.
I make the best pound cake in the world. Loved the trailer and can’t wait to get my hands on the book!
Macaroni and Cheese!
My family loves my Chicken enchilada casserole and my pumpkin empanadas.
Congratulations on your new Baby and Condolences on your loss.
The trailer totally made me cry! I can’t wait to read the book. xoxo
I’ve become quite a soup maker this past long and cold winter. Fresh mushroom soup is my specialty.
I’m a comfort food cooker. My meatloaf-and-mashed-potato pie is my best dish, I think.
Everybody loves my homemade rolls & clam chowder.
cookies
fruit pies with fresh seasonal fruit, especially apricot (coming soon!)
my family loves my home made salsa and chicken tenders
Chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, and my salsa!
Just finished your book! Loved it! This is exactly the family I met at The Big Potluck at Fordhook Farm! Enjoy that little boy -son, grandson, and nephew!
I just wanted you to know that I recently finished reading your newly published book and I enjoyed it so much. I so enjoyed the wonderful and intimate and honest stories behind the recipes . It was so refreshing to read your honesty in dealing with who you are and how you became…you! Poignant at times, funny, and insightful…a really enjoyable read and I loved the recipes. Making Sharon’s bread recipe this morning (in middle of first rise!).
I just finished reading your book. It was amazing! I laughed and cried and loved every moment of it. Thank you for sharing your stories and lives with the world. What a refreshing read!
Thank you, Brittany, for taking the time to let us know you liked the book. It means a lot to us all.
