Written by her daughter Leslie, the book chronicles what it was like living with Doris, a mom who had a knack in the kitchen but lacked a 10 second delay mechanism on her actions that caused life never to be dull or boring for her children. \"She was a mother who marched to the beat of a different drummer, and if she thought it, she said it --- without a filter,\" says Leslie. Growing Up with Doris never sways from Doris' true calling as a mother, which involved feeding her family, her children's playmates and a convent full of Notre Dame nuns. For anyone growing up in those eventful decades, Growing Up with Doris is an honest, endearing, and humorous account of a funny, one-of-a-kind mother whose wit, dedication, and tenacity is an inspiration on making the best of what life deals you. While writing the memoir, Leslie saw a theme emerging, mainly around food, so she decided to write a companion cookbook with her mother featuring 140 family recipes. The cookbook, Cooking with Doris B. is ideal for anyone beginning to cook or experienced in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lab Publications LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45498199965847,"sku":"9780984244706","price":950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780984244706.webp?v=1767448808","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/growing-up-with-doris-and-still-alive-to-tell-the-tale-9780984244706","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
