Together, Pam, Maggy, and Sharon reveal the challenging give-and-take between mothers and daughters, the passionate belief that food nourishes both body and soul, and the simple wonder that arises from good meals shared. Pam chronicles her epicurean journey, beginning at the apron hems of her grandmother and mother, and recounts how a cultural exchange to Provence led to twenty-five years of food and friendship. Firstborn Maggy rebelled against the family s culinary ways but eventually found her inner chef as a newlywed faced with the terrifying reality of cooking dinner every night. Younger daughter Sharon fell in love with food by helping her mother work, lending her searing opinions and elbow grease to the grueling process of testing recipes for Pam s bestselling cookbooks.
Three Many Cooks ladles out the highs and lows, the kitchen disasters and culinary triumphs, the bitter fights and lasting love. Of course, these stories would not be complete without a selection of treasured recipes that nurtured relationships, ended feuds, and expanded repertoires, recipes that evoke forgiveness, memory, passion, and perseverance: Pumpkin-Walnut Scones, baked by dueling sisters; Grilled Lemon Chicken, made legendary by Pam s father at every backyard cookout; Chicken Vindaloo that Maggy whipped up in a boat galley in the Caribbean; Carrot Cake obsessively perfected by Sharon for the wedding of friends; and many more.
Sometimes irreverent, sometimes reflective, always honest, this collection illustrates three women s individual and shared search for a faith that confirms what they know to be true: The divine is often found hovering not over an altar but around the stove and kitchen table. So hop on a bar stool at the kitchen island and join them to commiserate, laugh, and, of course, eat!

Review
"This beautiful book is a stirring, candid, powerful celebration of mothers, daughters, and sisters, and of family, food, and faith. The stories are relatable and real, and are woven perfectly with the time-tested, mouthwatering recipes. I loved every page, every word, and am adding this to the very small pile of books in my life that I know I'll pick up and read again and again."--Ree Drummond, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Pioneer Woman Cooks"
"As a little story about mac and cheese illustrates, when it comes to family, the trick is to make a masterpiece with the ingredients you've got. "Three Many Cooks" is the perfect encouragement to work with what we have: one another."--Kelly Corrigan, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Glitter and Glue"
"Pam Anderson is the consummate test cook--smart, thorough, and curious. Her new book, "Three Many Cooks, " puts cooking in the context it ultimately belongs, at the center of friends and family. In the kitchen and in life, Pam and her daughters express the essential truth about both: 'Whatever we have is enough.'"--Christopher Kimball, founder and editor, "America's Test Kitchen"
"A wonderful, honest account of food and family, "Three Many Cooks" deliciously reveals what I've suspected all along: Cooking for people you love pays back enormous dividends."--Jenny Rosenstrach, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Dinner: The Playbook
"
"Mothers and daughters, especially, will find great appeal in this endearing book of heartfelt personal histories accented with accessible recipes from authors who freely exhibit an 'intelligent and thoughtful approach to food.' A scrumptious pairing of nourishment and familial devotion."--"Kirkus Reviews"
