We Laugh, We Cry, We Cook

A Mom and Daughter Dish about the Food That Delights Them and the Love That Binds Them

By: Becky Johnson, Rachel Randolph

Narrated by: Becky Becky Johnson, Rachel Randolph

Becky Johnson and her daughter Rachel Randolph come from a long line of laughter. The female side of her family tree is dotted with funny storytellers, prolific authors, hospitable home cooks, and champion chatters.

In We Love, We Laugh, We Cook, Becky—a butter and bacon loving mama—and Rachel—a vegan bean eating daughter—share stories of their crazy, wonderful, and sometimes challenging lives as Rachel becomes a mother herself.

Becky is messy; Rachel craves order. Becky forgets what month it is; Rachel is an organizational genius. (At least before baby arrives.) Sprinkled throughout are the lip-smacking, nourishing recipes they love to make and share.

From food for a family reunion of thirty, to lunch for a party of one in a high chair, to a hot meal for a sick friend, the authors demonstrate grace, acceptance, and love to others through the bonding gifts of humor, attentive listening, and cooking … whether diners prefer beef or tofu in their stew.

Sweet Book

I read and enjoyed this, and also bought one for my daughter for her birthday this year.

A lot of child birth and wedding stories

Be forewarned. This book devoted a great deal of attention to child birth, wedding and marriage.
