Generations of HomemadeLife

By: Heather Burandt

Through anecdotes, humor, and positivity, Heather Burandt has shared her love for food through the pages of this cookbook. The recipes in Generations of HomemadeLife are the dishes she grew up watching the most important women in her life make as love for their families. The cookbook is perfect for those who have dietary needs. Because Burandt has UC, she doesn't make things with cows' milk, but she still gets flavorful dishes. Some are full-on recipes that have all the fat and sugar, but there are also those that have less sugar and give a variety of other options.

Through her cookbook, Burandt reminds her readers to follow their heart. She hopes that everyone finds these passed-down recipes as delightful as she does and that they enjoy the new ones she came up with.
