A Collection of Favorite Recipes from the Cottage Girls: A love of cooking and the craft of basketry

FOOD + BASKETS: For more than 20 years, a group of basket makers have gathered at the Basket Cottage in Milton, Georgia, creating life-long friendships and sharing great food. They began to call themselves the Cottage Girls and now, they have been able to combine over 190 of their treasured recipes–and photos of the baskets they love–into one unique book.

A beautiful, full-color collection of recipes, baskets and small reflections that celebrate friendships, family and the craft they love. Over 200 photos of food, baskets and colorful illustrations will inspire your creativity all year round.

Recipes range from casseroles to cocktails; from super easy to gourmet worthy such as:
