Author Description

"Hitting the road. In each episode of Road Tasted, their hit Food Network series, Jamie and Bobby Deen head for a different part of America to check out fantastic foods made by small-town, family-run businesses. Inside this book, they share a taste of the fascinating people and incredible edibles they have found. Out West the boys hang out with grape growers, candymakers, fishermen, and bakers, sampling seafood, stew, saltwater taffy, and the country's only wine grape pie. In the heart of the Bronx they meet folks who find time to do things the old-fashioned way--making old-school Italian sausage, cheese, and pastries. In Key West they catch the fresh tropical flavors of key limes, coconut, and just-caught fish. Back home, Jamie and Bobby take all that inspiration into the kitchen, creating lip-smacking, home-style dishes you'll want to make over and over again. From the Deen Brothers' kitchen to yours, this cross-country collection is full of recipes destined to become family favorites."--Book jacket flap.
