Résumé :
Inspirational author Sharon Caldwell Peddie and her 3 adult daughters: Kelsey (a lawyer); Kendall (a registered dietitian); and Cami (a college student in strategic communications) believe food, family & friends are the most beautiful, meaningful, and nourishing f-words. Their cookbook was created during the Covid-19 pandemic and is a celebration of positivity, resiliency, and creating a beautiful life no matter what life throws at us. Being together, cooking, creating, and writing their cookbook has been the women's pandemic silver lining. Putting their recipes, experiences, values, philosophies, and memories in writing has felt very powerful to them. It's their positive, productive punch at Covid-19 and kind of a metaphoric f*** you. f-words mom let us say is filled with approachable and inspirational recipes for: sunshiney breakfasts; smart smoothies; soothing, soulful soups; snappy salads; apps + snacks; sides; sunday family dinners; fun nights with friends; and sweets + treats.They believe in whole-body health. This powerful mother/daughters team believes food is nourishment for the mind, body, and soul and that all foods should be enjoyed without a side of guilt. They hope their recipes will boost overall wellbeing and inspire more cooking for yourself and for others too. They've added some extra love in this warm, informative cookbook. Look for Tradition, Complete Meal and Plant-Forward stickers on recipes--they indicate a little something extra and special for you. Adding even more love and inspiration to the stickers is space for note-taking. Sharon is also the Author of Grow Yourself Beautiful: A Smart Girl's Guide to Following Her Heart and Focusing on Her Inner Joy. Being a mom of 3 daughters, it's been her passion and mission to raise confident women with a strong sense of self in today's challenging world. She believes there are many roads to help build that, and they traveled many of them-from academics, sports, arts, community service, and more. But one of her biggest surprises was seeing how learning to cook proved to be such a powerful road to developing self-love and confidence. They want to share that experience to help others. The girls grew up in the kitchen with Sharon. They loved creating family meals together, and love a kitchen or backyard full of friends! Hosting dance team celebrations, soccer and volleyball team sleepovers, and backyard dinner parties was a way of life. They've developed traditions around food that have become the fabric of their lives-and their friends' lives too. Food, family & friends are the most beautiful and meaningful F words. They are the words that life is all about!
