Have to Reorder

Ordered this book for myself but had it delivered at my daughters house because she is home during the day. When it came in she started reading it and called me she loves it. Now I have to order another one just for me. LOL

Love her channel, and now her book!!!

Mary makes traditional cooking so approachable. I am so enjoying having this book to pour over and can't wait to try my hand at sourdough. Thanks Mary!
