May is BBQ Month

The grilling season has begun. So whether it is down-home traditional American barbecue or the finest meats slowly smoked over smoldering coals, we have the books for you. May is officially National Barbeque Month, an entire month devoted to great smoky aromas, fall-off-the bone meat, and tangy sauces. We just added top pitmaster and restaurateur Melissa Cookston’s book “Smokin’ in the Boys’ Room.”  A two-time overall world champion and the winngest woman in barbecue,  Cookston presents Southern Delta and barbecue recipes full of smoke and spice. Her restaurant is one of my favorite in the Delta.  The baked and fried favorites, oh-so-good sides and decadent desserts will stick to your ribs without going to Memphis. Check out our display of books for more food that’s meant for paper plates and lots of napkins.
