The Forgotten Recipe - savingsinseconds.com

A few days ago, my mother-in-law had some exciting news. While cleaning out a closet, she found a recipe that she’d thought was lost forever. It was her mother’s carrot cake recipe, a special treat that the family had enjoyed for years. Her mother passed away at a young age, and her recipes were lost as the kids grew older and moved away from home. When my dear mother in law found the recipe, she called her sisters, who all celebrated with her. They plan to get together at some point and make the delicious cake. My husband commented that even after all these years, and after her death, his grandmother’s recipe is still bringing the family together.

Books are like that, too. There’s a magical quality about books that makes readers come together for intelligent discussion, laughter, and sometimes even tears. Books draw a response from the reader’s heart, and help a reader visit an exciting locale without leaving a chair. It’s amazing! In The Forgotten Recipe by Amy Clipston, memories and sadness intermingle for Veronica. When she discovers a mysterious chest in the attic, it’s immediately a moment to remember. It even had an old lock! Sigh.

Throughout the story, it’s so neat to think about how God brings people together. He has a wonderful way of working good from bad situations. My friend Leslie calls these situations “God Winks.” I’ve had a few of those experiences, and I hope you have, too. For Jason and Veronica, these God Winks come at just the right time. Both of them are hurting, and need to believe in love again.

Before you read The Forgotten Recipe, just make sure you have a good snack sitting beside you. As you read about the peach salsa, grilled cheese, and raspberry pie, you’re sure to get a rumbly tummy! My only complaint…..I wish there were recipes for these delectable dishes in the back of the book!

    “God Winks.” What a great way of looking at it! I love using family recipes. We talk all the time about my husband’s mom’s rice pudding no one can ever make it the same way she did, but it’s fun to try. It’s nice to get together and cook the recipes. Memories and warm feelings. This book sounds that way, too.

  3. I think finding a mysterious chest would be fascinating.
