Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering



Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering by Joanna Gaines has an interesting introduction.


Most people get serious about cooking when they have to feed someone else. One of the time, which this happens is when you are married. I used to think I knew how to cook some vegetables, but after eating them with my husband, I realise I should have scraped those ridge gourds and fuzzy opo before cooking them, so they would cook faster and would go down easy.
