Plans are to blog about each recipe in this delightfully delectable book subtitled, "Recipes for Seaside Living." I have never been to Cape Cod, but selected this regional cookbook because the author has been my blogging instructor for the past month. Her engaging personality is revealed throughout the book as she narrates family involvement, her love of baking and the intricacies of each recipe.

I am an amateur in the kitchen. If I am successful with a recipe it is almost fail - proof.
This particular cake was baked in a bundt pan (I borrowed my daughter's) and ceremoniously topped with fresh orange glaze. Yes, you could take this cake anywhere and be a stunning success!!
The ingredients were all purchased with ease at my local Safeway.....I selected two large navel oranges, grated the zest and squeezed (with my hands) the juice. They were very good oranges!
I purchased the book through Amazon: Meet Me in My Cape Cod Kitchen by Linda Maria Steele.
You will not be disappointed.

Next recipe I tackle is the first one in the next section: Surprise Cookies
Plans are for me to methodically cook my way through the book by selecting in order the recipes Section One/Recipe One: For the Love of Cake (Delicious Orange Pound Cake)
Section Two/Recipe One: Cookies, Cookies, Cookies (Surprise Cookies)
Section Three/Recipe One: Quick Breads (Pear and Orange Bread)
.......and so forth......
Oh, I just peeked and can hardly wait until towards the end - P.S. Poems and Pies
(what surprises await us all).
I hope you buy the book, follow along and create these gift of love with me.
In the meantime, preheat your heart and tell someone you love them today.💟
