The Country Gourmet: Easy Country Recipes and Memories of Mama
Author: Margie S Robertson Toon
Mama was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and grew up in East Texas and Southern Louisiana. Later, living in places like Memphis, Tennessee and Austin, Texas, she developed a style of cooking all her own. A true Southerner at heart, she was The Country Gourmet, cooking up good ol’ country food for her family and friends. Her recipes were simple to prepare and delightful to dine upon. The author, following in her late mother’s footsteps, has an appreciation of country cuisine. Similarly, with inspiration from her late mother’s memory, she has created this book of Easy Country Recipes & Memories of Mama and country life for you to enjoy.

Carnal Appetite: Food Sex Identities
Author: Elspeth Probyn
Why is there a new explosion of interest in authentic ethnic foods and exotic cooking shows, where macho chefs promote sensual adventures in the kitchen? Why do we watch TV ads that promise more sex if we serve the right breakfast cereal? Why is the hunger strike such a potent political tool? Food inevitably engages questions of sensuality and power, of our connections to our bodies and to our world.
Carnal Appetites brilliantly uses the lens of food and eating to ask how we eat into culture, eat into identities, indeed eat into ourselves. Drawing on interviews, theory, and her own war with anorexia, Probyn argues that food is replacing sex in our imagination and experience of bodily pleasure. Our culinary cravings and habits express the turmoil in gender roles, in families, and even in the world economy, where famine coexists with plenty. Probyn explores these dark interconnections to forge a new visceral ethics rooted in the language of hunger and satiety, disgust and pleasure, gluttonyand restraint.
From the fat pride movement and diet fads to genetically altered grain and colonial cannibalism, Carnal Appetites looks at what we eat to tell us who we are.
