This book is a book of travel. And recipes. And cooking. But most of all, this book is a book of love. Our own family started out as relatively normal people living in a rather normal American town. Then God got hold of us and sent us to the world. As a family! On the way it became apparent that certain things were important: home in the midst of the new, familiarity in the midst of chaos, togetherness in the midst of too much work and a babble of strangers -- this all boiled down to the need for love! "When you travel, live and work in so many places -- among so many languages and foods and manners of doing things -- you are changed. You don't stay quite the person you were when you left your humdrum life back home... " So this book is sent out to all those who dream of travel and adventure. Also to those who need to maintain a bit of home in the middle of the new. A book of food, of fun, of family -- a book of love.
