I was a little bit hesitant to get this book, for the simple reason that the "faith" was potentially a large part of this book. I am not a religious person, but I *do* love to cook. However, it was so tastefully done within the book and not pushy or overwhelming at all. And the story of how Three Many Cooks (the blog) came to be, and the history of the family love of cooking, was so well written that I felt almost a member of the family. I really liked the way they chose to use all three voices as separate chapters. Their voices were definitely different, and yet it still felt very cohesive.

This isn't a cookbook, per se. There are a few recipes, mostly of foods that were meaningful to the authors. I have not tried any of them as of yet, mostly because I felt the book stood on its own even without them. However, I do have a few of them tabbed and ready to try! But really, it's a story of a family, one who has grown apart and grown together, using food to do both.
