The Recipe Club - Giveaway and Review
Lilly and Val have been childhood friends forever. Back when they were growing up in their teen years during the 1960's they spent their time writing one another letters and sharing a recipe. In the letters they would share whatever was going on with them at that stage whether it was their first kiss, fights between their parents, or even what their first job was going to be, they shared it all.
In the book, The Recipe Club by Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel, you are taken back in time and have the opportunity to read the letters that Val and Lilly wrote to one another along with some incredible recipes that are found on virtually ever page. It's a combination of a journal and recipe book all in one. You feel like you have discovered a treasure in the words these two best friends shared and during a turbulent time, they lost contact for 26 years. However when Lilly's mom dies, she reaches out for the comfort she once shared with her best friend to see if they can recapture what they once had.
I received this amazing and unique book compliments of TLC Book Tours for my honest review and have to say it's like getting two books in one. The recipe's are amazing and so fun to try. The heartfelt letters between these two close friends shows such a love and friendship that has lasted through the years makes you feel like you know them personally. I would easily rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It's just what you could imagine two girls growing up would write if you could read their letters.
