Wholesale Gracious Goodness Around the Table: Dinner - Hardcover

Report copyright infringement by Darlene Bobo (Author), Kelly Cox (Author) Welcome to Gracious Goodness Around the Table: Dinner. This is the third in our series of cookbooks focused on serving others from your kitchen. Breakfast and Lunch round out this series with each book focusing on specific techniques and methods of taking care of people by serving them delicious food. We believe good food served by those with loving hearts nourishes not only the body, but the heart, mind, and soul as well. Darlene and Kelly worked together at Butterfly Meadows Inn & Farm in Tennessee for several years. Dinners were served for one to one hundred guests at a time. Thousands of guests were served around the table there. Whether you are old friends or new, Darlene and Kelly are pleased to welcome you to the table within the pages of this book. Are you a new cook or seasoned chef? We have written this book with you in mind. You will find here great and proven recipes that have been adapted from the kitchen at the inn for your home kitchen. This book expands our Timeline System, introduced in Gracious Goodness Around the Table: Breakfast, so that you can put together your meals following our tested method of meal preparation. Our goal at the inn was to ensure that every meal came out consistently delicious for every guest every time, on time. We know that is your goal as well! This book is organized into six sections: Beef Entrées, Chicken Entrées, Fish Entrées, Pork Entrées, Vegetarian Entrées, and Sides. We have recommended sides for each entrée. We have also included a sample menu and timeline for each section. Carefully read through the samples, as they will give you an idea of how to put together meals that have different recipe and preparation requirements. Dinner meals are a special offering to your family or guests, typically at the end of the day. Dinner sets the backdrop for a relaxing time of eating together and reflecting on the events of the day. This is usually a longer meal and provides the opportunity to discuss meaningful topics in a relaxed environment. This is a time for connections to be made, bonds to be strengthened, and souls to be fed as well as bodies. That's the focus of this book-preparing a dinner for the enjoyment of your family and guests and arriving at the table with a frame of mind for the real purpose of the meal. All without setting your hair on fire! In Gracious Goodness Around the Table: Dinner, we reintroduce the concept of our Timeline system that we provided for each menu in the Breakfast book.
