Surviving in the Kitchen - Recipes for life, love, and a full stomach. Amanda Blackwood often jokes that she learned how to cook out of self-defense. What started as a necessity grew to become a passion, and along the way she discovered that food (by way of acts of service and gifts) was her love language. She performs acts of service by preparing crafted meals specific to an individual's taste buds. Often when serving guests, her portions are generous and flavorful. She'll delicately wait for the first bites to be consumed before realizing she's been holding her breath. When the food is tasted and approved of, her heart is overjoyed at the experience. Her gifts have been received and appreciated. Join Amanda's journey through the kitchen with some of her most favorite recipes to prepare for friends and loved ones, and learn how to make them in your own home. From the "Adult Deviled Eggs" to the Chicken Pierre, there's something for everyone and not a single bite will go to waste. (Though, admittedly, some of them might go to the waist!)
