Release of Sweet Home
















Yesterday, April 16th, was official release of Sweet Home: Over 100 Heritage Desserts and Ideas for Preserving Family Recipes, a cookbook written by Woodland Valley resident Rebecca Miller Ffrench and photographed by fellow Woodland Valley resident Philip Ficks. Peter Occolowitz (a THIRD Woodland Valley resident) assisted on the book.

The cookbook was inspired by a recipe journal that belonged to Rebecca’s great-grandmother. The tattered pages of the journal began an entire dialogue between Rebecca and her grandmother about their family heritage—and thus a whole journey began.

To learn more about the book, watch the Sweet Home video (http://vimeo.com/37533785) or go to sweethomecookbook.com.























There are scrumptious dessert recipes in the book for every occasion, and Philip Ficks’ stunning photographs will make your mouth water as you turn every page.

Rebecca also blogs about food and family at sweet-home.com.

Sweet Home is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and IndieBound.

There will also be a Sweet Home Book Signing and Sweet Tasting at Tenderland Home on May 19th from 3 to 7pm. All proceeds will benefit the Phoenicia Library.
