While looking through the cookbook section of the library I came across a new cookbook, The Comfort Table by Katie Lee Joel. Her name sounded familiar but I was not sure where I had heard of her before. So, in looking through the book I realized that she is married to Billy Joel the singer. I tried a few of her recipes over the Memorial Day weekend and these recipes were really good. The first recipe I tried was her buttermilk coleslaw. It was really easy and took very little time. Another recipe that I tried was the strawberry shortcake. Except for purchasing the strawberries, I had all the ingredients that the recipe called for. What is so great about this recipe is that it makes a beautiful presentation. The other recipe that I tried was the banana pudding pie. While it took longer to make, it was divine. Katie Lee Joel mentions that she ate the whole pie. I completely understand because I could have too. Katie Lee Joel is from West Virginia and as a child cooked with her grandmother. These recipes offer a glimpse into that good old-fashioned home cooking. Check out this book and let me know what you think of The Comfort Table by Katie Lee Joel.
