Much More than a Recipe Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a recipe book, yes, but so much more. It is a true reflection of the heart of a loving wife and mother, a genuine keeper of the home. All of this comes through in this, her first book. Karey and Monte Swan have truly created a lifestyle of learning in the Colorado Rockies for their children, themselves, and the elk who eat their garden vegetables. They are quite hospitable folks too! Mental, spiritual, and physical health reign paramount in her book. Not only is it full of wonderful and nutritious recipes, but explanations of how and why certain techniques and ingredients are used, lists for stocking the pantry, cooking tips, nutrition, and stories are included. Gardening and homemade soap are also discussed. Recipes for Life and The Art of Life chapters are probably the most important in the book. She even includes simple and interesting ideas for every month of the year. Words to songs that the Swans sing about family life are interwoven with the text. I love the spirit in which Hearth and Home is written; it is joyful and inspiring, simple and kind. May you be blessed as you read it, use it, and 'snuggle in' with it. Tina Farewell

Inspiring

I read Hearth & Home for the first time in 1997 and could not put it down. It truly did inspire me to make some major lifestyle changes in our home, becoming more "home oriented". Karey Swan's writing style makes you feel like you've known her for years, and she shares some wonderful recipes. Her thoughts on life in general are thought-provoking and inspirational.
Lots of great stuff in this attractive book!

Karey Swan not only shares dozens and dozens of her yummiest and healthiest food recipes, she also gives us a sweet taste of her life style and why we should pursue "homemaking beyond maintenance." The text is warm, witty and candid, and the illustrations are winsome.
