Why did I name this cookbook Bacon, Bitches & Breakups? Well, we’ve all had Bacon (I hope). It’s truly God's mouth candy and gift to the world. (Shout out to the vegans who saw the title and bought the book anyways). We’ve all had Bitches--and I promise, I mean this in the most loving of ways (keep reading, you’ll see) . And we’ve all had Breakups. The kind that pulls us all the way down and the kind that builds us all the way up. Food and dating go hand and hand anyway you look at it--from getting to know someone, all the way to the breakup food that will be there long after we’ve outgrown each other.
I wanted to share a few true (slightly crazy) break-up stories and the recipe remnants that stuck around or were created afterwards. This is a peek into my dating life (and why I love pork so much). Dating is tough, love is difficult, but Bacon is a Forever. Enjoy cooking from this book and keep taking a swing at love because you never know when you’ll get a home-run.
Growing up in Detroit, MI, Aarum Hurse aka LesBintheKitchen, has spent her entire life around food. Like most households the kitchen is a meeting place. Aarum watched and was taught by the best - her Great-Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother and Aunts.
Fast forward a few years and 40+ recipes later and you have Culinary Cool – Everyday Food. This book is to help you to find your own personal flavor profile. It’s about taking the simple foods we eat everyday and thinking outside of the box. If you can't find one of the ingredients used in the book, simply adjust it to your own flavor profile! It's all about the journey not the destination.
Cooking should be quick and fun!
Great cookbook! Fun and easy recipes! If you want boring food then this isn't the book for you. However, if you want to cook dishes with soul, creativity and Coolness, then this is definitely the cookbook that you need in your kitchen. Give this book a first try on date night...Trust me..It's worth it.
This book will challenge beginners and reignite senses in seasoned chefs. The colorful ingredients will awaken your palette. I like the fact that most recipes as 6 steps or less. Some difficulty finding some of the spices, but nothing major to deter me from making the dish....an easy omission or substitution and voila! My go to in this book is hands down the macho dorito fried chicken and the shrimp and grits. If you are looking to break up the monotony, this book is definitely the way to go!
