Wedding registries are a gift not only for the bride and groom but also for those who're shopping for a gift that will help them start their lives off on the right foot; giving them a boost up, and forward, with positive momentum. Cash gifts are great at this
too;
but, I think I may have just found the very best gift to give a bride and groom-to-be (or those who are newly married) "The Holy Grail" of a must have book outside of the Bible itself:
For any person thrown into a kitchen as they're coming of age and into their own or for a woman who has struggled to figure out what exactly she needs in her kitchen, what recipes are really saying when they show a capital "T", and how to make an edible dish that doesn't include burnt toast and runny eggs... this book is edifying, vibrant, truth telling awesome-sauce!
Not only that, the author is so human! You actually walk away feeling as though you have known her your whole life and that she's a safe voice to turn to within all of your kitchen experiments gone wrong.
Kitchen shows might be fun to watch (
Worst Cooks in America anyone?); however, as a viewer, trying to pick-up tips and tricks while learning can be quite the challenge! You're left feeling just as over-whelmed as before but perhaps able to smile a bit more.
Anjanette to the rescue! In her book, "
Dinner at Home", she'll make you smile, she'll inspire you, and help guide you into "home cook" greatness by sharing easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes from her home to yours. Keep her book at hand and use it like you would to

;
best reference book ever, it's the book that keeps on giving!

Seriously, never again will I be left scratching my head at what to buy a newlywed. Registry or not, I'll always be adding this book into my shopping cart of gifts to give because once you've found something that's helped you; well, you're meant to help the next person you come across who needs it.
a novel idea
and one written so you'd be able to experience the joys of a home cooked meal.
Confidence and joy found in a book.
Burnt toast no more!
If you don't know what I mean, check out "
Fried Green Tomatoes"; Towanda's a great alter ego of laughter and fearlessness. Exactly what you'll be experiencing in the kitchen before you know it!
Cheers to your inner-
Towanda. She's in there and it's time to let her out.
