{"product_id":"gumbo-love-recipes-for-gulf-coast-cooking-entertaining-and-savoring-the-good-life","title":"Gumbo Love: Recipes for Gulf Coast Cooking, Entertaining, and Savoring the Good Life","description":"Incorporating stories from restaurateur Lucy Buffett's childhood growing up in Mobile, Alabama, adventures traveling the seas as a cook, time spent working as a chef in New Orleans, and her philosophy of relaxation, gratitude, and seizing the day, this cookbook entertains and inspires as it serves up recipe after recipe, each tastier than the last.\n\n\"A delicious love letter to the Gulf Coast's vibrant food culture.\"\n\nSince she was a young girl, Lucy Buffett has believed in the power of gumbo-the stirring, the transformation of the roux, the simple ingredients cooking up into something much better than just the sum of its parts. It's only fitting that she signs her name \"with Gumbo Love\" and that she makes a living feeding people the most delicious, soul-satisfying food.\n\nHer new cookbook, Gumbo Love, is a labor of love and includes recipes from all over the Gulf Coast. The dishes incorporate Caribbean, Cajun, Cuban, Mexican, Old Florida, and Creole influences. Lucy proves through her collection of recipes that the Gulf Coast has its own distinct flavors and traditions that make it a coastal destination year after year. And with some of the best seafood and produce the country has to offer, the Gulf Coast-beyond just New Orleans-has a vibrant cuisine and culture, making it a treasured culinary destination in its own right.\n\nLucy combines over one hundred new recipes with old favorites. She lives by her mother's philosophy: \"Life is short-eat dessert first,\" so the very first chapter is filled with delectable sweets like Classic Southern Pound Cake with Strawberries, Buttermilk Orange Chess Pie, and Salted Butterscotch Blondies.\n\nSince you can't live on dessert alone, you'll find Gulf Coast favorites from Tailgate Shrimp and Crab Dip to Lucy's Signature Summer Seafood Gumbo, and Crab and Corn Fritters, along with dozens of other seafood appetizers and main dishes. And if you tire of seafood, Lucy shares her family favorites like Daddy's Fried Chicken, Beer-Braised Beef Brisket, Southern Fried Creamed Corn, and Greens and Grits.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1455566446\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1455566446.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Buffett, Lucy|McGuane, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
