Brands We Love: Rustic Joyful Food
This week seemed like the perfect time to shine a spotlight on local cookbook author Danielle Kartes and her cookbook series, Rustic Joyful Food. Because... it's release day of her newest cookbook, Meant to Share!
If you've been following us for a while now, you probably know we are big fans of Danielle. She's been gracious enough to do a few book signings at the shop and Jenn has sold her books at events around town. Danielle started her cooking journey right here in Tacoma with a restaurant she ran and operated with her husband Michael called Minoela.
After a few years of highs and lows in the restaurant biz, Danielle closed the restaurant and began her cookbook journey. And that's when her first cookbook, Rustic Joyful Food: My Heart's Table was born. With an immense love of food and family pouring out on every page, you can ready her cookbooks like a story. You can purchase Danielle's first book below.

Danielle's recipes are simple and filled with ingredients that everyone will love. It's homestyle cooking with a ton of heart. After Danielle's first book, her popularity exploited and she now is a regular on local and national television programs like Rachel Ray and Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel. She now lives in the Seattle area with her husband and two boys.
Danielle's second book, Generations, is another masterpiece with recipes passed down to her. It's a collection from a simpler time with high emphasis on love and cooking with family. We currently have the 2nd edition available for purchase.
