Cristina Ferrare's Big Bowl of Love

"Cristina is probably the best cook I've ever met, other than Maya Angelou and my own mother. She's cooked three Christmas dinners for 80 people, and I was sitting at the table for all of them." -Oprah Winfrey

For New York Times best-selling author Cristina Ferrare, "family, cooking, food, and bringing people together [are] a passion." That same irrepressible enthusiasm infuses A Big Bowl of Love, Ferrare's homey collection of more than 150 recipes for everyday meals and celebrations. Each dish has been tested, enjoyed, and cherished by Cristina's family and friends, as well as by viewers of Cooking with Cristina—a series of cooking segments that aired on the OWN network (Oprah Winfrey Network).
