Dedication

To my mother:

You have taught me that a home-cooked meal is a warm extension of love and care for your family. Some of my fondest memories are with you in the kitchen, and many of my favorite meals are the ones you and I have made side by side.

To my mother-in-law, Gayle:

The way you’ve always opened up your home to family, friends, and even strangers has inspired me over the years to be intentional about the details when it comes to making my own dinner table a place for people to gather and feel welcome.
