Parmesan Thyme Crackers

When Ina Garten speaks, I listen. Her fifth cookbook was published last month and my very good friend Judy presented me with a copy of it for my birthday. (Judy also brought The Art of Simple Food into my life— the lady clearly knows how to pick cookbooks.) Ina’s latest venture is excellent. For those of you familiar with her, you will be happy to see that she still can curate an exciting and accessible collection of recipes. The book is a real pleasure to read and she offers some good entertaining tips. You’ll also be happy to know she still loves butter. She always manages to shock me with how much butter she is able to fit into her recipes. Quite frankly, it scares me. But there is no denying that it tastes good. read more+++
