About the Book

For co-authors Chris Fennimore and Chef Daniel Agüera, their food memories started as children in their grandmothers’ kitchens. Chris’s Italian grandmother could make magic out of the simplest ingredients; Daniel’s Spanish abuela taught him to cook from the heart. In this book, they showcase their families’ best-loved comfort food traditions, along with American classics that should always have a place at the table. The 80 recipes in Simple Pleasures are true “comfort food,” the kind that delivers deep-down satisfaction wrapped in nostalgia. Simple Pleasures aims to bring people back around the table at mealtime and create food memories that will become family traditions.
