Blue Creek Lake: A Companion Recipe Book From Lawhoma Hills

A companion recipe book from the folks in Lawhoma Hills. Inside are suppers for a long table and desserts wrapped tight for the ride across town.

Holiday plates carry spices from other soil and settle into ours.

Some recipes measure by cup or spoon. Others rely on your eye and the bend of your wrist.

A few wait for the moment when the surface turns the right color and the kitchen smells done.

That knowledge passes without ink.

Each name stands beside the dish it carried. These instructions rest in certain kitchens, under certain lights, in houses with porches that creak in the heat.

Some of these kitchens you may know from the Lawhoma Hills novels. Others belong to women in my own family. The line between them is the seam where this book lives. If you recognize a name, you know the hands.

Companion to the Lawhoma Hills novels and the Camp Run Amuck middle grade series. From a kitchen in rural Oklahoma to yours.
