Food with Love

If you're craving food that'll take you back to Mom's dinner table, look no further than Mother's Best. In her cookbook, Lisa Shroeder, chef and owner of Mother's Bistro & Bar in Portland, Oregon, shares 150 of her favorite recipes and offers advice gathered from her years in the restaurant business. At Mother's Bistro, moms clearly rule—the restaurant even features a "Mother of the Month," who collaborates on special menus. Sample some of the homey fare from the book—and make sure to add plenty of love.
