Celebrate Every Day: Recipes for Making the Most of Special Moments with Your Family

A warm, inviting, and heartfelt collection of recipes and celebrations to re-create and share with your own family.

A few years ago, Jaime Richardson did what a lot of young, articulate, creative women were doing: she launched a blog (sophistimom.com) where she could reach out to other young mothers and share ideas about feeding and raising healthy, happy children. What started out as a place to express herself quickly grew to a destination of choice for those eager for fresh ideas and creative inspiration for their own families, garnering the attention of The Pioneer Woman, Glamour Magazine, and Babble.com, where she has been named one of the Top 100 Mommy Food bloggers for three years running. She is also part of Marthas Circle, a small group of lifestyle bloggers, hand picked by the editors at Martha Stewart.

In this cookbook, Jaime focuses on the heart and soul of her blog: recipes for making the most of special moments with your family. According to Jaime, celebrating really isnt about the events but about the moments. And big or small, these are to be enjoyed with great food and lovely, simple touches of sophistication that everyone in the family can appreciate. Featuring twenty unexpected, wonderful celebrations that any family can enjoy, the book offers original ideas for making the most of time spent with children, including suggestions for activities, books, and music that go along each theme. Some 150 full-color photographs showcase the approximately 100 finished recipes as well as the authors three adorable children. 

Organized by season, the book offers ideas for such gatherings as: Welcome Spring Brunch, Berry Picking Party, Back to School Breakfast, Fireside Supper, and a Rainy Afternoon Feast.

“I adore Jaime’s sophisticated and inventive approach to entertaining. Her menus and recipes are designed with busy lives in mind, and it’s refreshing to see a book where kids are expected to be in on the fun too.”  —Lori Lange, author of The Recipe Girl Cookbook and RecipeGirl.com

“The special moments shared and the memories made with family need not be expensive or extravagant, they need only be created from your heart for those you love . . . and in her new book, no one is better at this than Jaime. Celebrate Every Day is a book whose pages will become well worn from constant use and inspiration.”  —Jo Packham, Editor in Chief of Where Women Cook
