The new cookbook is ready to meet the world

Black Beans & Corn 

Why a book about Black Beans and Corn? I have no idea, except that this is a combination of ingredients I have always been drawn to. The book is divided into four sections; recipes using Black Beans, then recipes using Corn and lastly recipes using Black Beans and Corn together in dishes.

In the fourth, and last, section of the book I have added “The Pantry” for your convenience. As you look through the recipes in each section, you will find within the ingredient lists, a reference, “(see The Pantry),” which will give you instructions for making or preparing  a called for part of the recipe. For example: “1 cup prepared salsa (see The Pantry)” tells you there is a recipe to make your own salsa in the Pantry section of the book. (In fact, there are 8 salsa recipes!)
 
All these recipes for $14.95

I hope you will have as much fun with the dishes in thebook as I had developing them.

The first book, Share a Recipe, came into being because of friends asking
me how to fix healthy, satisfying, and inexpensive dinners
as I had for my large family.

From those requests came ideas from friends, neighbors, and fellow chefs
from all over the world which I compiled into a cookbook to be shared by all
and benefit a very special group ~ future chefs. All the proceeds of this book
go to Chef Scholarships - anyone actively enrolled in a Culinary Institution
is eligible for a scholarship.

My next cookbook is a different journey ~ it's a chef's journey home and
the title of this book is, coincidentally, titled:

a Chef's Journey...Home

And this book is now out and ready for you!

It was truly a work of love; remembering the women who
cooked these recipe while we were growing up and for
the friends who are sharing their favorties also. I hope
some of the recipes will become your family favorites also.


The next journey I have embarked on is different
from the first two books in that all the recipes are
brand new and we're back in the 21st Century of 
foods. 

Pizza,  Pizza,  Pizza!!


 

I love my newest book which is chocked full of information on methods of cooking pizza at home, plus 10 different pizza dough recipes.
There are also many ideas for saucing and topping your pizzas
and a section for specialty pizzas, including dessert pizzas.
And, the best part is, we still love pizza ~ we aren't tired
of it yet. Which is a good thing, because I think there will
be a Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! Part II book soon.

This little book will make a great stocking
stuffer and it's only $9.95

If you love pizza, you will love this book.
