Good Morning Sweet Friends :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to take the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review.
How has your week been going so far? Mine's been pretty good actually, and I'm thankful for the lovely time I've been able to spend with my husband and some of the rest of my family.
I'm not quite sure I've talked too much about this on my blog before, but I often feel that hospitality is one of my God given gifts, and I adore getting to entertain family and friends in our home, although we don't get as many opportunities to do so as I'd often like to.
Because I do love entertaining, I also love reading cookbooks and/or entertaining and homemaking titles.
I've reviewed a couple of Susan Branch's previous titles on my blog, which you can find using the links below:
Autumn from the Heart of the Home
Christmas from the Heart of the Home
Today, I'm looking forward to sharing with you all another one, and I hope you'll keep on reading down below for today's full review.

My Review:
Heart of the Home: Notes from a Vineyard Kitchen is another charming and aesthetically pleasing cookbook by Susan Branch. While I've found the other couple of books I've picked up by her to be kind of hit and miss, this one was a true delight, and I've already tried a couple of the amazing sounding recipes included within.
Her beautiful illustrations go nicely with the varied recipes she's included within, and I love how so many would be the perfect dishes to whip up if you happen to have company coming over. Most of the recipes seem simple to make, but look delicious, and it's enjoyable that she included a section for every single meal plus desserts and appetizers and entertaining tips.
My one complaint with this book is the same thing I've mentioned with some of her previous titles, and that is the fact that the font that some of the book is written in is hard to decipher, and makes some of the recipes a little bit more complicated to follow.
Overall, however, this is a wonderful book for anyone who is enthusiastic about creating a welcoming home with delicious dishes to prepare for family and friends, and I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you get the chance to do so.
Final Rating: 4/5.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
