Inspired by a real-life matriarch known for showing love through food (and a bit of manipulation), it features 70 dishes straight from her recipe box. Fans can recreate indulgent favorites like Shrimp Parm, 7-Meat Meatloaf, and Rib Pot Pie—often loaded with meats and cheeses, with minimal vegetables in sight. Some recipes stem from well-meaning but questionable attempts at healthy eating, like Barry’s Special Power Chili and fiber-packed bran muffins. Accompanied by retro food photography and show stills, this playful collection captures both the warmth and chaos of an unforgettable family kitchen. This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.
