The introduction to Bridgette Lacy’s Sunday Dinner alone is worth the cover price.–Nancy Olson, Quail Ridge Books and Music Newsletter

Lacy brings us right up to the storied tables of her childhood, laden with the classic dishes that celebrate the week’s achievements and offer us peace when we’re dispirited. She is a born storyteller, and her depictions of Sunday dinner are so lovingly rendered that even the most hard-hearted, eat-to-live, agnostic among us are moved by the power of togetherness embodied in this meal.” – Kelly Alexander, author of Smokin’ with Myron Mixon and James Beard Journalism Award winner
