This is a specially formatted fixed layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.

In this book, she shares more than 100 recipes for good old-fashioned cooking and practical home crafts, all beautifully photographed and with a contemporary spin. Crammed with useful tips and tricks, Like Grandma Used to Make is a wonderful gift and a manual for anyone wanting to reconnect with the simplicity and goodness of days gone by.
