The Southern Bite Cookbook - 150 Irresistible Dishes from 4 Generations of My Family's Kitchen

Stacey Little

Summary

In the South, a conversation among home cooks can be just about as illuminating as any culinary education. Luckily for Stacey Little, home cooks run in the family.  
Whether it’s fried chicken or pimento cheese, fruit salad or meatloaf, everybody’s family does it a little differently. The Southern Bite is a celebration of those traditions and recipes every Southern family is proud to own. It’s the Pecan Chicken Salad that’s mandatory for every family reunion and the hearty Goulash, so comforting after a long day. It’s the Glazed Ham that graces the Easter table every year. 
If you’re lucky enough to hail from the South, you’ll no doubt find some familiar favorites from your own family recipe archives, along with a whole slew of surprises from southern families a lot like yours! There’s Turnip Green Dip for your next party, Chicken Corn Chowder for those chilly fall nights, and Cornbread Salad for when you really need to make an impression. 
No matter what’s cooking, Little’s goal is the same: to revel in the culinary tradition all Southerners share. These are the recipes that bring us together and the meals our families will cherish for generations to come.

Cajun Healthy

Jude Theriot

Good-for-you Southern food from the author of Cajun Low-Carb, including shrimp and okra gumbo, crawfish etouffee, pain perdu, and more. Delicious food has always been a part of the Cajun joie de vivre. But people traditionally associate it with high-fat, high-calorie dishes, which don’t complement a heart-healthy lifestyle. Certified culinary professional Chef Jude W. Theriot has broken apart the myth that Cajun cooking can’t be low in fat and calories and still remain tasty with his fifth cookbook, Cajun Healthy. The secret behind Theriot’s approach is not to rely so heavily on ingredient substitutes. Instead, he focuses on maintaining many of the ingredients from the original recipes and simply altering the amounts used of those that pose health risks. Some substitutes are used but only in the interest of preserving the consistency, coloring, and presentation of the dish. This means the full-bodied flavor of each recipe still comes from the same spices, sauces, meats, and kitchen staples that have made Cajun cooking such a delicacy. Among the more than two hundred recipes in this volume are standards of the Louisiana kitchen, like gumbos, jambalayas, etouffees, as well as new features from his family kitchen just teeming with Cajun influences. Theriot has added a little something special to each of his dishes to make them unique and fresh to even the most well-trained Cajun palate. In addition, he always offers his standard lagniappe of helpful hints for the kitchen and even a little background for each dish’s development.

Deceptively Delicious - Simple...

Jessica Seinfeld

It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal. But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come.

Television personality Vanessa Lachey is a dedicated mom of three, a supportive wife to singer Nick Lachey, and someone who freely shares her “perfectly imperfect” home and family life.

In Life from Scratch, Vanessa shares personal stories, ideas, delicious recipes, and parenting tips you can use to make your own celebrations unique and unforgettable. Inside you’ll discover the simple gift-giving custom Vanessa shares with her best girlfriends each year; the date-night tradition that she and Nick swear by; and her fool-proof recipe for “authentic” Chicken Adobo she serves to family and friends. 
A fun, uplifting yearlong guide that celebrates families that color outside the lines, Life from Scratch will inspire people to make each season, and each special moment, their own.
