A disappointment
The book's front cover states that The Quilter's Kitchen is an Elm Creek Quilts novel with recipes. If you are a fan of this series, do not read this book. If you are a fan of cookbooks, do not read this book. You'll be disappointed on both counts. The "novel" can more accurately be described as a poorly written short story about a woman cleaning out her kitchen cupboards. Interspersed throughout the story is an overabundance of [often unrelated] recipes that disrupt the narrative flow. A word of advice: Do yourself a favor. Instead of reading this book, clean out your own cupboards, and then bake a batch of your favorite cookies. Your time will be much more productively spent.
