Title: To my daughter, with love
Description: This is written on the back of the cookbook, "A mother's collection of family recipes for family days. Hand written, this charming book uniquely captures memories of your own mother's happy table. here are special menus and recipes presented with a loving sense of nostalgia."  

Inside the cover of the book is a handwritten letter from a mother to her daughter. I have typed the exact wording as it was printed in the cookbook.

Dearest Daughter:

     Here is the cookbook you asked for. I have designed it around our favorite family menus, as you requested.  I am sure that it will help you to have successful dinner partie with confidence and which you, yourself, will enjoy.

     You may remember family dishes you don't find here. Let me know about them and when next we are together we can add them.

                                                 Love,
                                                 Mother
