"Like me, Danielle Kartes realizes that food is the great connector―a conduit to bring people together around the table and create new memories."―Rachael Ray, for Rustic Joyful Food: My Heart's Table
As seen on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Rachael Ray Show, and Hallmark Home & Family
What makes a meal special? Certainly not the best cutlery, the most expensive ingredients, or the latest trends in cooking. It's about the people who made them for you and how they loved you.
Danielle Kartes grew up poor, though it never felt that way to her. She was privy to much as a child, but it wasn't until having her own children that she fully understood the effort made by her mother to their family comfortable during times of financial hardship. There was always food on their table and it was always delicious. Whether it was veggies from the family garden or "hamburger soup," Danielle learned from her mother not just to cook but to feed people.
