I’d put her cookbooks my wish list but my cookbooks really take a beating, and I would rather have Susan Branch’s designs elsewhere than on my countertop, where they’re sure to be sugared and floured and splattered. So I’m wearing her jammies instead.
I just adapted her French Chicken soup last week and the whole family was raving about it (I did make it minus the butter and the flour, but it still turned out awesome!). I’ll write about that one soon — I had saved a bowl of it to take a picture of in my precious soup crock the next day when the lighting was better — and then my hungry 15-yo had it for breakfast. Grrr…. but at least her tummy was filled — and so was my heart. I love it when the kids can’t wait to devour the food! I’ll still post the recipe, sans the soup crock photo — soon.

Love her books, but I’m the same way, rough on my cookbooks. I don’t bring hers into the kitchen, but copy the recipe and use it that way.
Stef, That’s great that your daughter had leftover soup for breakfast! Yummy Dinner leftovers for breakfast are highly preferrable to cereal anyday. A girl after my own heart. Blessings!
Jenn, that’s what I do too! In fact that’s what I’m trying to do now with all my books. I have some that I truly love and while their ragged appearance shows it, it’s still nice to have crisp-looking cookbooks on the shelf! Plus, it’s a great way to keep track of keepers.
Kristina, we love leftovers for breakfast. Only sometimes we hope to have them for lunch and they’re gone, LOL.
I love Susan Branch too!!!! 🙂 Her drawings are darling! 🙂
That is so strange, I was just reading Susans Autumn book…I love her illos!
