The Good Neighbor Cookbook by Sara Quessenberry and Suzanne Schlosberg delivers a wealth of easy to prepare recipes that readers can create on-demand for family, neighbors, pot lucks etc. Each chapter is focused on recipes for a variety of events such as new Moms, new neighbors and
common community gatherings. This helps the reader to quickly identify a unique dish that fits well with the occasion at hand. Each chapter includes a wealth of dishes that neighbors can share with short to moderate prep/cook time. Readers will find a nice variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes throughout the cook book to accommodate meal planning for various dietary requirements.
This book supports the philosophy of Good Neighbor Karma by not only providing readers with practical recipes, but also including great tips such as how to organize
a meal train, the art of assembling a cheese platter, and ideas for nourishing a friend/neighbor on the mend. I found the emergency appetizer suggestions to be extremely helpful when I am in
the depths of a hectic week but need to extend culinary support to a mid week community gathering.
I recommend adding The Good Neighbor Cookbook to your home library so you will have a ready- to-go group of delicious recipes to make for friends, family, and neighbors.
