After a year of hard work putting recipes on paper, my father and I finally unveiled our new cookbook a couple of weeks ago. Locally Grown: Recipes Inspired by Local Living is a cookbook filled with things I love. From recipes I grew up with – like Mom’s Popovers and my grandmother’s recipe for Eggplant Parmesan – these are recipes that anyone can make.
We made them easy – on purpose – because cooking should be fun not hard! And because I love living local, I wanted many of the recipes to contain ingredients available at local farmer’s markets or right down the street.
The reception to the cookbook has been great thus far. AY Magazine featured it in their May 2010 issue, and I’ll be doing book signings at Eggshells on May 8, THEA Foundation on May 17, and Historic Arkansas Museum on June 11. Phew!
Let me know what you think about the cookbook. If you’re not from around here – you can still order the book from Amazon.com. Just click the link at the top of the page!
