Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day and as a military spouse, I want to share with you a delightful cookbook that I've had the opportunity to review for Sourcebooks.
The Military Wives' Cookbook, by Carol Quick Tillery is a delightful cookbook, with mouth-watering recipes and glorious tidbits of historical information complete with photos that provide insight to the many roles and sacrifices that have been made by military spouses in years past.
To quote Sourcebooks:
My girls have looked through this book with me and we've made a list of some recipes we're sure will become family favorites, such as:The Military Wives' Cookbook is divided into six large sections:
- Teas and Coffees
- Buffets, Brunches, and Lunches
- A Taste of Home: Dinner Family Style
- Alfresco Dining
- Over There: An International Affair
- Home for the Holidays and Other Celebrations.
The women, through whose eyes these stories are told and whose recipes are shared, are truly remarkable. They often balanced the responsibilities of maintaining home and hearth, raising a family, managing a business, and supporting a war effort. In addition, they found time to extend themselves in friendship and hospitality to one another and to women in the places where they were stationed, earning them a well-respected reputation that continues to this day.

Take a moment today to thank a military family for their sacrifices for our freedoms; and be sure to go to the Sourcebooks website to get a copy of The Military Wives' Cookbook - you'll enjoy it as much as I did!
