 It's a cookbook that weaves intimate stories with treasured family recipes to pay tribute to the women in Crystal's family who taught her how to live, love and cook. It came to me when my grandmother passed away. I knew how to cook, but that first holiday after she passed was one of the hardest. I'd get started, I'd break down, I'd start to make my dressing and I would break down. And finally, I remembered one of her dresses and I went and got the dress out of the closet and brought it.
