Good Food that Nourishes the Soul...
Like bread and butter, meeting your basic recipe needs
Life is complicated enough so our recipes focus on simple and delicious food. But we're not just about bread - Bread and Mother features receipes from appetizers to entrees to sides and salads and, of course, desserts.
We want to help you put something delicious on the table whether you're new to the kitchen or a master chef! But we're not just going to tell you all the good stuff about cooking, we're also going to let you know where we've gone wrong with our recipes - those Bread and Mother disasters - because everyone loves bloopers and outtakes! So roll up your sleeves and pick up your spatula and let's start cooking!
A friend of mine has a spaghetti sauce recipe SO secret that you, literally, have to marry into the family to get a copy. Hardcore, man!
On the other end of the spectrum, I recently had the pleasure of preparing “Sunday Gravy” with my “former” mother in law. She is Sicilian Italian, a truly amazing cook, and apparently believes: Family is Family…no matter what…..Life is long!
Her Sunday Gravy is a scrumptious, herby marinara sauce and highly versatile. I decided one cold, wintry day to try it again on my own but to play with it by adding a hearty meat mixture and calling it a ragout.
