Grandma Reba loved to read cookbooks. I bet she spent as much time reading cookbooks as I do reading novels. She read them cover to cover, line by line, word by word with an intense interest in ingredients, tools, and methods, but even more, the chef’s—shall I say it?—soul.
Grandma would have devoured, as I did, the “Happy in a Hurry” cookbook by Steve and Kathy Doocy. The authors, a husband and wife team, share favorite quick-to-make recipes, shared by family and friends, which are guaranteed to MAKE YOU HAPPY.
The genius of this cookbook is the humorous family story that accompanies each recipe, which starts your smiles before you preheat the oven. We learn each recipe’s provenance—a favorite meal first eaten in the home of one’s true love, a recipe garnered during a near-disastrous family vacation, and why a mac-and-cheese recipe claimed a spot near the front of the book.
I laughed out loud for eight whole seconds upon reading the “Paprika Chicken Under a Brick” story, and the thought came to me that Grandma Reba would have loved this cookbook. If she were still here, I’d make sure to give her a copy. Since she’s in heaven, I’m sure she’s already plenty happy. Love you, Grandma!
