As tradition goes, Sunday afternoons in the South often drift into
Sunday suppers, a cherished meal that is lovingly cooked and
shared. In her newest book, author and Southern Living contributor
Cynthia Graubart sets out to revitalise the iconic Southern Sunday
meal, using inspiration from Sunday suppers of the past and
present. The book unfolds in five chapters, tailored to the needs
of typical Sundays - a small family gathering; a feast for a crowd;
a summer afternoon BBQ and a hearty breakfast-for-supper repast.
Over 50 easy-to-make main dishes are perfectly paired with sides,
drinks and desserts, all spun with classic Southern flair. Treat a
small crowd to classics like One-Pot Shrimp and Grits paired with
Heirloom Tomato Salad and Swoon Pies for dessert, or have a
Cajun-inspired supper with Mini Muffulettas, crisp Apple Coleslaw
and spicy Cajun Lemonade. With easy menu-planning ideas, cooking
tricks, tips for stocking the pantry and around-the-table
inspiration for everything from decorating the table to dining
etiquette, readers get all the tools they need to throw a proper
Sunday supper - or a lazy one. After all, spending time at the
table with family and friends is what Sunday suppers are all about.

Everyone is passionately opinionated about their soups. We can
argue through the night about blended soups, cold soups, greens in
our soups, clear soups and, ultimately, why our favourite soup is
the very best. The soups we make say we miss our moms, we want to
travel, that the seasons are changing or that we are truly, deeply
hungover. Soups define the stock from which we come and connect us
all. In Blasta Books #5: Soup, authors and Spice Bags podcast
co-hosts Blanca Valencia, Dee Laffan and Mei Chin take you on a
journey around the globe from the comfort of the communities within
Ireland. The soups they have collected reflect individual cultures,
memories and tastes, but they are also a reflection of Irish food
today and the people behind it.

A Vishwesh Bhatt dish conjures an evolving American South. Peanut
Masala-Stuffed Baby Eggplant alongside fried okra, tossed in tangy
chaat masala. Collard-Wrapped Catfish with a spicy Peanut Pesto.
These much-loved dishes are stars on the menu at Snackbar in
Oxford, Mississippi, where Bhatt has been the executive chef since
2009, earning Best Chef: South (2019 James Beard Awards) and
induction into the Fellowship of Southern Farmers, Artisans, and
Chefs in 2022. His food draws from his Indian heritage and is
unpretentious, inventive and incredibly delicious. I Am From Here
organises 130 recipes by ingredient, emphasising staples, spices
and vegetables that are as beloved on the Indian subcontinent as
they are in the American South. Summer means okra, tomatoes, corn
and peas. Winter brings sweet potatoes and greens: mustards,
collards, kale and spinach. Rice is a constant throughout. Bhatt
vividly recounts the special meals cooked by his mother and
grandmothers-vegetarian comfort food such as Khichadi, custardy
rice pudding and Stewed Gujarati-Style Black-Eyed Peas-and presents
them alongside dishes he's shared with friends, colleagues and
family across the decades. Recipes run the gamut from uncomplicated
roast chicken and Citrus-Herb Rice Salad to dinner party-worthy
Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Tandoori Spices. Writing for the home
cook, Bhatt includes recipes for making your own spice mixes,
including a versatile chaat masala. A mix-and-match meal-planning
guide will help you pair dishes for different occasions. And every
ingredient is within reach even if you're cooking far away from the
warmth of Mississippi.

Since ancient times, the most important foods in the Mexican diet
have been corn, beans, squash, tomatillos, and chile peppers. The
role of these ingredients in Mexican food culture through the
centuries is the basis of this volume. In addition, students and
general readers will discover the panorama of food traditions in
the context of European contact in the sixteenth century--when the
Spaniards introduced new foodstuffs, adding variety to the
diet--and the profound changes that have occurred in Mexican food
culture since the 1950s. Recent improvements in technology,
communications, and transportation, changing women's roles, and
migration from country to city and to and from the United States
have had a much greater impact. Their basic, traditional diet
served the Mexican people well, providing them with wholesome
nutrition and sufficient energy to live, work, and reproduce, as
well as to maintain good health. Chapter 1 traces the origins of
the Mexican diet and overviews food history from pre-Hispanic times
to recent developments. The principal foods of Mexican cuisine and
their origins are explained in the second chapter. Mexican women
have always been responsible for everyday cooking, including the
intensive preparation of grinding corn, peppers, and spices by
hand, and a chapter is devoted to this work and a discussion of how
traditional ways are supplemented today with modern conveniences
and kitchen aids such as blenders and food processors. Surveys of
class and regional differences in typical meals and cuisines
present insight into the daily lives of a wide variety of Mexicans.
The Mexican way of life is also illuminated in chapters on eating
out, whether at the omnipresentstreet stalls or at fondas, and
special occasions, including the main fiestas and rites of passage.
A final chapter on diet and health discusses current health
concerns, particularly malnutrition, anemia, diabetes, and obesity.
