Since the release of "Just a Matter of Thyme" two years ago, the company of "Among Friends" has been receiving requests each day for the "next book". Owners, Shelly Reeves Smith and Roxie Kelley, have encouraged employees, customers and friends of the business to literally take this job into their own hands, and share their very best recipes for this publication. After months of testing (and tasting) by the Among Friends crew, Shelly graced the pages of Heart & Soul with her artful explanation of each simple, but truly-satisfying recipe. The addition of the "Heart Smart" section, and helpful household hints scattered throughout make this book a perfect gift for cooks of any age. Among Friends invites you to put your "heart and soul" into the pages of this more-than-a-cookbook-book. And then, of course, share it with a friend.
