5 Cookbooks To Check Out
We’re a big fan of cookbooks. They are the culinary equivalent to a literary collection of visual prose. While we have sorted through many, below is a look at 5 that captured our attention this month. Each one offers something totally unique whether it’s learning how to make beer and the history behind it to blending culture, tradition, and new ways of eating.
As the culinary world changes and adapts to allergies, clean eating, and curious home cooks, more and more options become available. For those of us who enjoy dabbling in the kitchen, these are sure to give you some reasons to play.
Happy cooking!

The Gluten-Free Table
Emeril may be their dad, but these girls created gluten-free dishes to please your palate.
Imagine growing up with a father known for his rich, Creole-style cooking, who instilled a love and appreciation of food from the very start. Now imagine not being able to eat most of his dishes anymore. That’s what happened to Jilly and Jessie Lagasse when they were diagnosed with gluten allergies in 2001 and 2004, respectively. So they learned to adjust, changing the ways they cooked, ate, and used ingredients. The Gluten-Free Table provides a well-balanced base of recipes that can add flavor and enjoyment to the menus of even the most demanding gluten-free eaters. With appetizers, soups, salads, sides, entrées, and desserts, the book has something for everyone.
Featuring family favorites, Southern classics, and a few of Jilly’s and Jessie’s own culinary anecdotes thrown in, readers will delight in this compendium that includes recipes for Sweet ‘n’ Sticky Chicken Drumsticks, Hearty Butter Bean and Ham Soup, Jalapeño and Cheddar Cornbread, Slow-Cooked Rosemary Chicken with Apples and Fennel, Maple Syrup Johnnycakes with Ice Cream, and more!
