The book starts with setting the table. It is similar to at home, a basic setting and simply explained. Mama folds great cloth napkins. Clearing the table is also covered in the book. Silverware to the left on the plate..interesting.
Papa and I have read essential Pe’pin and Grandfather’s Lessons goes further into cooking ideas. I like that cooking is part of their daily life and fun family cooking traditions.
