Rustic Joyful Food: My Heart’s Table
by Danielle Kartes
"Like me, Danielle Kartes realizes that food is the great connector―a conduit to bring people together around the table and create new memories." ―Rachael Ray
Rustic Joyful Food: My Heart's Table showcases rising Seattle food star Danielle Kartes's uniquely homey and delicious recipes. With a focus on hearth, home, family, and connecting with the people you love, Danielle's from-the-heart creations will help you build memories around the table that last a lifetime.
"It's my hope that you will find something to love within these pages―that one of my recipes will become your own memorized specialty that you'll add or take away an ingredient or two to create your own perfect meal. And I hope that meal―your meal―will be enjoyed for years to come by people you love. I want you to feel amazing each time you make it.
Truth be told, that's the beautiful thing about food. I believe that when heart, soul, and creativity are interjected into a recipe, no two people will ever make it the same. Every meal is uniquely yours." ―Danielle Kartes
Rustic Joyful Food: Generations
by Danielle Kartes
"Like me, Danielle Kartes realizes that food is the great connector―a conduit to bring people together around the table and create new memories." ―Rachael Ray, for Rustic Joyful Food: My Heart's Table
As seen on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Rachael Ray Show, and Hallmark Home & Family
What makes a meal special? Certainly not the best cutlery, the most expensive ingredients, or the latest trends in cooking. It's about the people who made them for you and how they loved you.
Danielle Kartes grew up poor, though it never felt that way to her. She was privy to much as a child, but it wasn't until having her own children that she fully understood the effort made by her mother to their family comfortable during times of financial hardship. There was always food on their table and it was always delicious. Whether it was veggies from the family garden or "hamburger soup," Danielle learned from her mother not just to cook but to feed people.
There is a food Renaissance beginning. People are taking greater care in cooking again, figuring out how to eat better and how to get back to those days of slow-cooked, homegrown food while balancing a career and family. Rustic Joyful Food is about life and Generations is about the past that will always touch our present and continue to shape our future.
The recipes in this book are simple and delicious. They are meant to remind you how special family time is and how important memories made around food truly are.
Rustic Joyful Food: Meant to Share
by Danielle Kartes
"Like me, Danielle Kartes realizes that food is the great connector―a conduit to bring people together around the table and create new memories."―Rachael Ray
This life we've been given is truly meant to share. Rustic Joyful Food: Meant to Share is a tender look at the way food shapes our hearts, souls, and communities. The idea that it's not just a novelty but a necessity to give food to people and to cook for those we love is the backbone of this book, which celebrates connection and gives you all the tools you need to create amazing moments, one dish at a time, in a way that feels genuine, thoughtful, and effortless. We only have one chance to live life to the very fullest. The food in these pages will ignite connection, not perfection, and feed people in our lives. In the spirit of open-heartedness, I invite you to share your life, your food, and your story with the people in your life.
―Danielle Kartes
