Labor of Love Cookbook

By Robert Denton

This book was inspired by the life of my mom and dad. These are the recipes that I used to cook for my parents when I took care of them in our home in Pawleys Island, SC the last 2 and 4 years of their lives, respectively. I tried to cook a variety of different cuisines and as a result amassed a sizable list of recipes. This book represents what I consider their favorites. My parents loved Pawleys Island so I included some pictures that represent the Pawleys Island that they loved and in doing so I believe add to your pleasure of leafing through the book and making it a coffee table piece.

This was really working out well because they lived close enough for me to keep an eye on them every day and for me to lend a hand whenever
