I love to cook, I love to laugh and I find a combination of the two very agreeable. This book provides incentives to cook, advice about cooking, and a selection of completely cookable, taste bud-friendly recipes. It replaces the drudgery of day to day meal preparation with a light-hearted approach to your time in the kitchen. Along with great recipes you’ll find commentary about such topics as “The keys to fine dining”, “Trouble shooting for leftovers”, and “Dessert avoidance theories, and how they break down.”  I hope that Since You’re Standing in the Kitchen, Have You Considered Cooking? will make you look forward to your time in the kitchen.

The Grits Shall Rise Again! 

With it’s unique blend of hospitality, warmth and gracious good humor, the South has provided for me a home and cherished relationships for over thirty years. During this time I’ve been cooking for family and friends who have enjoyed the food, asked for more and lived to tell about it. Blueberry pancakes, sliced tomatoes or pecan crusted chicken, whatever you choose, I hope that The Grits Shall Rise Again! will provide you with many new favorite recipes and a fun and happy approach to cooking.
