“We both grew up in households in which family mealtime was once sacred, and the rituals surrounding eating and drinking have continued to define and unite us. Cooking together is a way of reveling in each other and in our union. We are hoping that you’re going to find the same bliss in the kitchen that we do.” — Christie & Jordan
