A gorgeous, full-color illustrated cookbook and personal cultural history, filled with 100 mouthwatering recipes from around the world, that celebrates the culinary traditions of strong, empowering immigrant women and the remarkable diversity that is American food.Born in Italy, Anna Francese Gass came to the United States as a young child and grew up eating her mother�s�Italian cooking. But when this professional cook realized she�did not know�how to make her family�s beloved meatballs�a recipe that existed only in her mother�s memory�Anna embarked on a project to record and preserve her mother�s recipes for generations to come.In addition to her recipes, Anna�s mother shared stories from her�life in Italy that her daughter had never heard before,�fascinating tales that whetted Anna�s appetite to learn more. So, Anna began reaching out to her friends whose mothers were also immigrants,�and soon she was�cooking with dozens of women who were eager to share their unique memories and the foods of their homelands.In Heirloom Kitchen, Anna brings together the stories and dishes of forty strong, exceptional women, all immigrants to the United States, whose heirloom recipes have helped shape the landscape of American food. Organized by region, the 100 tantalizing recipes include:Magda�s Pork Adobo from the PhillippinesShari�s Fesenjoon, a walnut and pomegranate stew, from IranTina�s dumplings from Northern ChinaAnna�s mother�s�meatballs from Southern ItalyIn addition to the dishes, these women share their recollections of coming to America�stories of hardship and happiness�that illuminate the power of food, and how cooking became a comfort and a respite in a new land for these women, as well as a tether to their native cultural identities.Accented with 175 photographs, including food shots, old family photographs, and ephemera of the cooks� first years in America�such as Soon�s recipe book pristinely handwritten in Korean or the measuring cup Anke tucked into her suitcase before leaving Germany�Heirloom Kitchen is a testament to female empowerment and strength, perseverance, diversity,�and inclusivity. It is�a warm and inspiring reminder that the story of immigrant food is, at its core, a story of America.

Poole\'s is her master class in making the best foundational recipes and then turning these into exceptional sides, mains, and desserts--all inspired by the food at her James Beard award-winning restaurant, Poole\'s Downtown Diner. The ingredient-driven recipes range from beloved Southern favorites like Pimento Cheese, Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Hot Honey, and Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie to modern updates like Turnip Green Fritters with Whipped Tahini, the one-dish Pork Cassoulet with Pit Peas and Collards, and Zucchini Doughnuts with Marscapone.From the Hardcover edition. From the award-winning Southern lifestyle magazine�Garden & Gun�comes this rich collection of some of the South�s most notable women.For too long, the Southern woman has been synonymous with the Southern belle, a �moonlight and magnolias� myth that gets nowhere close to describing the strong, richly diverse women who have thrived because of�and in some cases, despite of�the South. No more. Garden & Gun�s Southern Women: More than 100 Stories of Trail Blazers, Visionaries, and Icons obliterates that stereotype by sharing the stories of more than 100 of the region�s brilliant women, groundbreakers who have by turns embraced the South�s proud traditions and overcome its equally pervasive barriers and challenges.Through interviews, essays, photos, and illustrations these remarkable chefs, musicians, actors, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, and public servants will offer a dynamic portrait of who the Southern woman is now. The voices of bona fide icons such as Sissy Spacek, Leah Chase, and Loretta Lynn join those whose stories for too long have been overlooked or underestimated, from the pioneering Texas rancher Minnie Lou Bradley to the Gee�s Bend, Alabama, quilter Mary Margaret Pettway�all visionaries who have left their indelible mark not just on Southern culture, but on America itself.By reading these stories of triumph, grit, and grace, the ties that bind the sisterhood of Southern women emerge: an unflinching resilience and resourcefulness, an inherent love of the land, a singular style and wit. And while the wisdom shared may be rooted in the Southern experience, the universal themes are sure to resonate beyond the Mason-Dixon.

An all-natural bake shop that specializes in Southern baked goods, Donna Bell�s is owned by Pauley Perrette, the actress who plays Abby Sciuto on CBS�s NCIS, and her two best friends, Darren Greenblatt and Matthew Sandusky. It was named in honor of Pauley�s late mother, who is the beloved inspiration for everything they bake. It all started in 1993, when Pauley met Darren in New York City�s Hell�s Kitchen, just blocks away from where the shop is currently located. The two became inseparable friends and Pauley�s Southern mom would welcome Darren to their home with mouthwatering treats. Darren loved this food and soon left his successful career in fashion to open a food truck that sold Southern desserts at the Jersey Shore. Eventually he wanted to expand and turned to Pauley and their friend Matthew�who worked in the Los Angeles food industry�for help.

With recipes for favorites like buttermilk biscuits, chocolate chip-almond scones, and peach streusel muffins personal photographs from Pauley, Darren, Matthew, and Donna Bell herself this is the story how one fantastic bake shop brings warmth and happiness�one treat at a time�to the urban jungle that is New York City. Finalist, International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Awards in the Literary or Historical Food Writing Category When her family moved from Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Von Diaz traded plantains, roast pork, and malta for grits, fried chicken, and sweet tea. Brimming with humor and nostalgia, Coconuts and Collards is a recipe-packed memoir of growing up Latina in the Deep South. The stories center on the women in Diaz\'s family who have used food to nourish and care for one another. When her mother--newly single and with two young daughters--took a second job to make ends meet, Diaz taught herself to cook, preparing meals for her sister after school, feeding her mother when she came home late from work. During summer visits to Puerto Rico, her grandmother guided her rediscovery of the island\'s flavors and showed her traditional cooking techniques. Years later the island called her back to its warm and tropical embrace to be comforted by its familiar flavors. Inspired by her grandmother\'s 1962 copy of Cocina Criolla--the Puerto Rican equivalent of the Joy of Cooking--Coconuts and Collards celebrates traditional recipes while fusing them with Diaz\'s own family history and a contemporary Southern flair. Diaz discovers the connections between the food she grew up eating in Atlanta and the African and indigenous influences in so many Puerto Rican dishes. The funche recipe is grits kicked up with coconut milk. White beans make the catfish corn chowder creamy and give it a Spanish feel. The pinchos de pollo--chicken skewers--feature guava BBQ sauce, which doubles as the sauce for adobo-coated ribs. The pastel?n is shepherd\'s pie . . . with sweet plantains. And the quingombo recipe would be recognized as stewed okra in any Southern kitchen, even if it is laced with warm and aromatic sofrito Diaz innovates for modern palates, updating and lightening recipes and offering vegetarian alternatives. For the chayotes rellenos (stuffed squash), she suggests replacing the picadillo (saut?ed ground beef) with seitan or tofu. She offers alternatives for difficult-to-find ingredients, like substi?tuting potatoes for yucca and yaut?a--root vegetables typically paired with a meat to make sancocho. Diaz\'s version of this hearty stew features chicken and lean pork. And because every good Puerto Rican meal ends with drinks, desserts, and dancing, Diaz includes recipes for besitos de coco (coconut kisses), rum cake, sofrito bloody marys, and anticuado, an old-fashioned made with rum.With stunning photographs that showcase the geographic diversity of the island and the vibrant ingredients that make up Puerto Rican cuisine, this cookbook is a moving story about discovering our roots through the foods that comfort us. It is about the foods that remind us of family and help us bridge childhood and adulthood, island and mainland, birthplace and adopted home.
