Author Description

Melody Anne's first cookbook with 100 delicious recipes, everything from seasoning mixes, and 15-minute meals, to gourmet cuisine. It also has a Melody Anne twist with hidden gems cover to cover. Come on inside and get personal with Melody Anne. Melody has been writing fiction for 15 years, but her other great love is growing food, catching food, and most certainly, cooking beautiful recipes. It wasn't always this way for her. She realized the amount of chemicals put into food, and this made her want to cook healthier for her family. We use the word, healthily with a smile, because there might not be chemicals in this food, but there will be butter and cream, and lots of it. Melody loves taking recipes that have been done the same way forever, and giving them a twist. Such as making Rice-a-Roni from scratch, Salad Dressings from Scratch, and Canned Goods done much more easily than you can imagine. It's not only fun, but it saves money, too. Melody and her husband are avid fishermen and love catching fish, canning tuna, and cooking up a fresh meal. She hasn't been able to talk her hubby into chickens yet, but she's working on that. Food is essential to our survival, but it can be so much fun to play with as well. Ignore those who have told you not to play with your food. It's a joy to enjoy cooking, and the cook gets to take all sorts of sample bites. You have to make sure it's perfect before serving, after all. Melody shows how much cheaper and better food is with all sorts of fun ways of making everything from Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce to 5-star Lasagna. You don't have to spend $300 on a fancy restaurant to enjoy a great meal. You can make it at home easier than you can imagine, and wow your family and friends. Melody hasn't cooked her whole life. This passion started about 10 years ago, and her love of doing it has grown more and more each year. There are a sea of cookbooks out there, but trust us, you don't want to miss out on
