Our Sweet Basil Kitchen: Fresh Twists on Family Favorites with Recipe Mashups and Unique Flavor Combinations - Hardcover

by Cade Cheney (Author), Carrian Cheney (Author)

"This is home cooking with a twist of whimsy and a dash of Paula Dean decadence." - Booklist

A pinch of the North and a dash of the South

Oh, Sweet Basil bloggers Cade and Carrian Cheney blend their Pacific Northwest and Southern roots in these delicious new twists on family favorites

Carrian grew up in the Pacific Northwest and prefers garden-fresh produce, natural ingredients, and healthy eating. Cade, raised in South Carolina, loves all things Southern--particularly if it involves a grill.

Together, they have collected more than 100 recipes that combine their love of fresh ingredients with unexpected flavor combinations and mashups of tried-and-true family favorites that will take your cooking to the next level.

The Cheneys believe that "Cooking isn't just about the food, it's about the hands that created it. For us, that means sharing a little Southern comfort and a little farm-to-table. But wherever you are and whatever flavors you are sharing, remember that good food and good people make for a good life."

All the recipes are exclusive to this cookbook.
