What happens when friends gather? They eat. What happens when Polly Giller’s friends gather in Bellingwood? They eat. How do we take care of friends who are hurting or lonely or who need extra attention? We feed them. I learned it from my grandmother, my mother reinforced the notion, and I love being able to create something wonderful in my kitchen to share.The entire Bellingwood community loves to eat. Many love to cook. The recipes in this little cookbook come from the first twenty or so novels in the Bellingwood series. From fancy Stuffed Chicken Marsala to a breakfast garbage plate, Polly and friends will try just about anything. To find more fun recipes, join the Bellingwood Facebook group – Bellingwood Cooking and Recipes. More friends who love to cook and share as much as they love Bellingwood.
