Back Around the Table

With his first cookbook, In the Kitchen with David, David Venable gave us the mouthwatering and memorable recipes that were passed down to him from his mother and grandmothers. Now the beloved television host invites us back to the warmest room in the house to share inventive spins on traditional dishes that are sure crowd-pleasers. Venable has received great praise from the food world for his easy, comforting cooking style, and that laid-back feeling pervades his second cookbook. Packed with nearly 150 recipes, this volume is like having a collection of "mini" cookbooks in one convenient place. Complete with tantalizing photographs, helpful sidebars, and amusing anecdotes, this all-purpose cookbook will have your family coming back to the table again and again for more great food and great times. - Jacket flap.
