David Letterman is not my favorite person, and I had passed this book by a number of times. Finally, I decided to try it after reading some good reviews. It really is a nice book beautifully written by Dave's mom. There are so many pictures and memoirs, plus many delicious recipes. One that I was really excited to come across was Dave's mom's cranberry sauce. It was exactly what I had been searching for, but never able to find. A very nice and unexpected surprise! This book is a really nice addition to anyone's cooking library.
