This
full-color, self-published book is a feast for the eyes and a smorgasbord of
taste-tempting recipes. The life Shelly and Alice have created in picturesque
Carmel Valley, California has evolved over many years. The fantasy-like setting
and the colorful, seemingly perfect meals that are pictured did not happen
magically. Much dirt under the fingernails, sweat on the brow, and
experimentation in the kitchen brought this book to fruition.
Feeding
Alice - A Love Story by Shelly
Schachter
My
blog has always been about family, life and the intermingling of crochet into my everyday functioning. For my brother-in-law, Shelly, life is about
food; and more importantly, life is about showing his love for his wife with
creativity in the kitchen.
Shelly
is a house-husband who manages the home fires while Alice assumes her high-pressure
executive duties. He works the soil caressed by the California sun; he prunes
and harvests; he plays in the kitchen. Bolstered by the anticipation of
arriving home to not only a beautifully presented but also a deliciously
nutritious meal, Alice is grateful and honored by the out-pouring of love she
receives daily from Shelly.
Honoring
Alice further, Shelly has dedicated some space in the book to highlight her
creative niche: quilt-making. Together, they have forged an idyllic life in the
enchanted setting which they built to nurture and nourish each other.
Filled
with simply unique recipes, you will find this vibrant book not only useful, but also
inspirational. You’ll be motivated to reach out of your comfort zone when it
comes to cooking, and you’ll want to reach for someone to love in your own way.
