By Lynn Andriani | 09/14/2009 @ 03:00PM

On September 7, The Flavor Bible celebrated one year on Amazon’s “Cooking, Food & Wine” top 100 bestseller list. And, its authors are quick to add, before Julie & Julia-related books took over much of list’s prime real estate, The Flavor Bible spent most of its life in the top 25. How did a book without a movie tie-in, national TV presence or celebrity authors, that doesn’t contain one recipe, achieve such success?

Review: Hot and Hot Fish Club Cookbook

| 09/11/2009 @ 01:38PM

Husband-and-wife team Chris and Idie Hastings showcase the best offerings of their Birmingham, Ala.—based restaurant, the Hot and Hot Fish Club. More than a cookbook, this is a personal tribute to seasonal offerings and the hardworking, dedicated purveyors who supply the restaurant with the freshest ingredients. The authors focus on honest, unassuming dishes with a Southern flair that highlight rather than bury the natural flavors of the ingredients.
