Culinary artiste Joy Smith’s new book, Tell Me a Story, I’ll Bake You a Cake, is a unique collection of personal recipes that she has accumulated through a colorful life that began in Roanoke.
Not only will readers find 90 varied and simple recipes, they’ll be taken back to a time when the world around us was filled with the sound of mighty steam engines, the fragrance of Lakeside cotton candy, the innocence of hide-and-seek summers, and the excitement of Victory Stadium Friday nights.
Yes, the traditional recipes are there as well as modern ideas for your kitchen creations. Joy has shared her cooking expertise in her popular long-running newspaper column and as a guest chef on the Food Network and other media outlets.
These delightful recipes are treasures for everyone, and especially for Roanoke residents, past and present, who are sure to enjoy the sometimes poignant and often-humorous hometown stories associated with the dishes.
The book is available at AuthorHouse.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Amazon.com.
