I was able to review The American Table: Classic Comfort Food from Across the Country in exchange for a review and I would like to let you know I picked this new cookbook because I thought with David cooking dinner in the evenings, he might find something new to create for dinner that Charlie might actually eat. The same meals all the time are getting old and if David doesn’t come up with something new and different, I may run from the house screaming.
