It's almost Valentine's Day! Why not skip the expensive restaurant and create a delicious home cooked meal instead?

For Ned & Ariel Fulmer, cooking together has always been a love language, and now—with gorgeous photos and 10 years of never-before-heard dating stories and relationship tips—they’re putting it all on the table. With recipes for simple night-in staples like Third Date Pizza or Netflix and Chili, as well as luscious specialties like Ariel’s Favorite Lemon Salmon Piccata or Ned’s Chocolate Soufflé, Ned and Ariel know better than anyone that delicious food is the cornerstone of any good relationship. 

Let’s Dish! Come and share the love of exploring cookbooks.

Pick up the cookbook and try out some recipes. Snap pictures of your creations and email them to klentz@gpld.org. We'll share them with the group on February 9.
