#BookReview: The Great American Family Reunion Cookbook by Lori Nawyn

About the Book:

With more than 150 recipes from across America, The Great American Family Reunion Cookbook provides a culinary, coast-to-coast adventure and helps families of every background and every size provide the most important element of any reunion—the food. 

Author Lori Nawyn spent over a year interviewing residents from each state, exploring their stories and their food to identify what was the quintessential recipe for that perfect family gathering. 

Whether from the Louisiana Bayou to the Black Hills of South Dakota or from the rugged landscape of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to the beautiful farmland of New England, the recipes capture the essence of what it means to renew family love and relationship. Nawyn has also coupled the recipe collection with practical advice and creative activities to help organize and host an unforgettable family reunion.

My Review: I really love this cookbook! As it is not only filled with a ton of different foods to make but it lists foods from all over the country. I think that was a very awesome suprise. This would be a great gift for a family reunion where everyone picks a state and cooks something.  Then everyone could come together! This would be great for family gatherings as well as parties!  I think you could have a wonderful time with this one folks.
