A must have for your library
Hands down one of the best cookbooks I’ve read. Very well written with entertaining tid bits from her life. The photos are fantastic. You can tell the author is passionate about her cooking and sharing her gift.

Iâve been waiting for this to come out as I follow Andrea wherever she is! The recipes look great and simple which is what I love. Even though I donât have a cottage these recipes are right up my alley. Love the beautiful pictures and all the wonderful stories and tidbits. The picture of Andrea at the âbeat upâ chip truck (super cute) and story is SO true! Truly hope she writes another book!

The pre-ordered book came on release day. The book is great quality with AMAZING photos, fun side-stories about the cottage, and non-fuss recipes. Not only will I use this for cottage meal planning but for regular summer meals at home. Can’t wait to try the homemade pancake mix for Sunday mornings with my kids!

I was so excited to receive my copy yesterday. Sometimes owning a cottage can feel overwhelming with all the guests and meals to prepare. This book is so well written. It was a joy to read all of the personal stories. The author guides us through easy sounding yet really yummy recipes with enough twists to make you realize it can all be done simply.This book release at the beginning of season will be dog eared by the end of it! Thank You!

The most stunningly beautiful cookbook I have seen in ages. Itâs so clear that Andrea poured her heart and soul into this book with so many fabulous photos and easy recipes I have endless ideas for our next cottage trip. Plus there are so many useful tips, she even considered cottage rentals! Loved it so much I ordered two more as gifts!

I pre ordered this book, just opened it and it is bound upside down and many of the pages are completely unattached. Have to spin the book to view it properly. Disappointed as it was a gift for my mom for Motherâs Day. The book itself is very poor quality (Iâm sure the content is great though). Will try to return and will not be re ordering.
