Mostly Motherhood is, as the name suggests, mostly about motherhood… and then some. After all, we as women have so many layers to our personalities and so many versions of our best selves. I’m a mother, for sure. But I am also a woman, a wife, a friend, and a writer.
I’m also a big fan of “Gilmore Girls.”
This project came to me as a suggestion by my husband. He knows I’ve always been a fan of “Gilmore Girls” with all their fast-talking, pop-culture-referencing family-dynamics. So when the chance to contribute to Kristi Carlson’s second “Gilmore Girls” recipe book came along, I couldn’t say no.
After Kristi Carlson saw much success with “Eat Like A Gilmore” featuring recipes for food seen in episodes of “Gilmore Girls,” she knew there was room for a second helping. I mean, Lorelei and Rory are never too full for another delicious treat. Why should we be?
“Eat Like A Gilmore: Daily Cravings” is the result. Even more recipes that you can make yourself. While reading backstory snippets about where the food fit into each episode.
There were so many great recipes about which I could have written. And while marzipan (p. 175) is not a treat I’ve ever tried, the storyline in this episode and the scene in which marzipan plays a role, is so funny. Classic Richard, Emily and Lorelei banter.
So if you have a “Gilmore Girls” fan in your life, consider this creative, delightful read as a great gift.
It’s available at several locations. Check it out here.
