      It is food and family-oriented.

      I actually finished it last night and loved it.

    I've seen a couple of those books, but haven't read any of them yet.

    Thanks to your Book Beginnings, I'm hungry! (And it makes me what goes on at that restaurant and what's on their menu that they're so busy late at night!)

      The book has three chefs in it, lots of food, and lots of love and compassion.

      Thanks for commenting, LuAnn.
