“Our Newlywed Kitchen” by Laura Schupp

The Art of Cooking, Gathering, and Creating Traditions

You’re Getting Married, What’s Next?

Are you getting married soon, perhaps you are a newlywed?  How exciting!  This book has a lot to offer a couple just starting out.  Ever think you would need a warning about well-wisher’s behavior?  You might, and this book will tell you why.  Good ideas range from being on a registry, to food–and the best way to get it, fix it, and save money along with time.  Read about joining a registry, along with good ideas and suggestions that are picked according to your current lifestyle, as well as, your future one.

A look between the covers will help with the nitty-gritty of setting up a kitchen along with advice that makes a home meaningful.   Personal anecdotes from author pepper the pages of this volume and tie in to situations a young couple face.  Ms. Schupp shares how traditions can be begun now, and the fun that can be.   Childhood traditions that the your family forced you to join in, may take on a different light after being married.   Don’t be surprised if they become associated with warm memories and are tweaked to fit into the new relationship.  The ways relatives, past and present, added their own twist to the family such as cooking style, the ways they celebrated, and so on, are presents that can enrich the couple’s life.   As the book says, “not all gifts come from a store…”

This beautiful over-sized book contains pretty fonts and appealing pictures.  But it is more than just a coffee table decoration.  Often, not much thought is put into life after the honeymoon.  When the thrill of the wedding fades, day-to-day life can leave the newly married overwhelmed.

That is where this lovely book can help.  It suggests ways two people can unite separate lives and start a new one together.  It has lots of ideas for fun and excitement that a new couple can try together, as well as, ways to enjoy day-to-day living.  Despite there being a small number of recipes, this is not a cookbook or a book just for the kitchen.  The recommendations inside help today’s couples establish a wonderful lifestyle together.  Best of all, it is written from a Christian viewpoint.

I wish I would have had a book like this when I got married, it is a joy to view.   This would make a lovely present for any up-coming brides, or a nice present to give to yourself.  It is sure to be a valued gift.  I highly recommend this 5-star book.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”   -1 Corinthians 13:13
