Along with a new book, our family has welcomed a brand new baby girl, Willa Elizabeth, who has just spent a week with her adoring grandparents (that be us!). I even got to take her into the kitchen to help me cook. It is thrilling to see the family line of cooks to continue. Welcome to our lives and to the world, little Willa.

Really wonderful picture!
Think I can get her cooking in a few months —– I can try!
Hi Judie, We have a new little gal too…Sora Erin…she lives in Santa Cruz…great grandbaby./ Mary has a sort of new granddaughter named Anna Elizabeth after my Gramma Annie…they live on Long Island. Mary and Ben moved there last year. My nephew Jim Scott lives there. Love, Annie

Congratulations – I can’t believe that you are a great-gramma — and what a pretty name. I hope I’ll be around to see that happen for us…..
Judie
Are you teaching Willa how to make the gold standard hummus?
Love, Ellen
How’d ya guess!!! It was for the friends and family An American Family Cooks party at our local hang-out, JOE, The Art of Coffee. I can guarantee that you were missed….people still ask about your non-appearance.
Hummus is always waiting.
OK…where is the recipe for Gold Standard Hummus?
It’s in our new book, An American Family Cooks – or if you poke around this blog it might be here someplace!
Finished browsing and reading your book yesterday and then saw the photo of you and Willa Elizabeth – she has a lot to look forward to – congratulations Judie and family cooks, photographer Steve, artist Stephen… a delicious family valentine.
Biffy
Hope you get many happy hours in the kitchen and at the table with An American Family Cooks – we all have fun and hope our readers will also.
