Cooking with Love Willie Holton Halbert

Cooking with Love is a collection of recipes that I have made over the past forty years of experimenting and cooking for family and friends. Webster Dictionary gives the meaning of love as "great interest and pleasure in something." Cooking brings me great joy and pleasure that I desire to share with all. When I see people taste or eat the food that I have labored over in love, I watch for their expression and enjoyment, knowing the food that I have prepared is good for the soul. The feeling I experience upon observing is one of warmth and is treasured in my heart. For fun, I asked my husband, Charles, what is his meaning of love, and he replied, "Willie." I just laughed, for he summed up the essence of this cookbook. It's me giving you a piece of my experiences, memories, and joy--all in a dish of food. Enjoy.
