Uptown Country: 175 Charming Recipes with Flavor and Flair Hardcover - 2007

From the publisher

Drawn from the days when author Donald Lewis watched his grandmother churn butter and gather fresh eggs to use in family meals, these country dishes have a contemporary flair that's perfect for even the most elegant brunch or dinner party. You'll find recipes for such classic treats as Creamy Onion Soup, Squash Bisque, Creole Seafood Gumbo, Baked Chicken Breasts with Roast Garlic Sauce, Velvet Almond Fudge Cake, Lemon Date Squares, and Apple Spice Muffins. There's also a useful conversion chart for British and American measures and temperatures, a handy list of ingredient substitutions, a recipe for a "Master Mix" that can be used for a range of baked goods, and general herb suggestions for flavoring foods to perfection. This is a charming cookbook that skillfully combines rural country cooking with modern culinary style. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We've been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
