About the Author
Judith M. Fertig is a bestselling and award-winning cookbook author. She lives in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, where she develops recipes that celebrate the rich culinary traditions of the Heartland. A recognized authority on regional Midwestern cuisine and an experienced cookbook author and food writer, she has studied at the Cordon Bleu in London and La Varenne in Paris. Prairie Home Breads follows Fertig's definitive Prairie Home Cooking, a collection of recipes inspired by the abundant produce of the Midwestern states, including wild and heirloom fruits and vegetables, game, grains, and beef. The bestselling Prairie Home Cooking was a 1999 nominee for both the IACP Cookbook Award and the James Beard Book Award. Fertig is also the author of the award-winning Pure Prairie: Farm Fresh and Wildly Delicious Foods from the Prairie, as well as several books on barbeque with coauthor Karen Adler. In addition to these cookbooks, Fertig wrote the Great Plains chapter of the American version of Culinaria, a two-volume book on American culinary traditions. She is a contributor to numerous distinguished magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the London Sunday Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Saveur, Santé, Country Living, and Country Home. Fertig was inspired to write the Prairie Home cookbooks while living in London. Although she had lived and traveled all over the Midwest, living abroad gave her a new perspective, revealing the Midwest as a region of culinary innovation, cultural diversity, and fresh and varied native foods and produce. Looking at this familiar region from a new perspective allowed Fertig to capture the honest wholesomeness of Midwestern cuisine in her cookbooks. To write Prairie Home Breads, Fertig visited Old World artisanal bakeries, farmhouse kitchens, rural church suppers, community bake sales, bustling urban ethnic bakeries, farmer's markets, and home kitchens throughout the Midwest. Fertig shares her considerable culinary expertise and her appreciation of the Midwestern kitchen in cooking classes and seminars and as a restaurant consultant.

Lively BBQ Recipes for Summer,
By
This review is from: BBQ Bash: The Be-all, End-all Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie (Paperback)
As always, you can count on Karen Adler and Judith Fertig (aka the Barbecue Queens) to remind you not to take cooking so seriously. You can have fun at the grill, and enjoy guests at the same time. The recipes in this latest romp through the back yard will allow you to do both. Some are fresh, some are tried and true, but all are well written, easy to follow and won't have you scanning weird markets to find obscure ingredients for esoteric dishes. In other words, you can find what you need at your neighborhood Kroger or Safeway to serve up dishes from this book, touted as "The Be-All End-All Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie". My only exception to this cookbook is the ladies' advice regarding storing Frozen Margaritas, Frozen Cosmos, and The BBQ Queens' Royal Slush in the freezer. The instructions tell you to thaw them until slushy before serving. Unless Karen and Judith have a sub-sub-zero freezer, these drinks, given their alcohol content, should be pretty much slushy when you take them out. Alcohol simply does not freeze in the home refrigerator freezer. With that said, don't miss this cookbook, it will set your mind for barbecuing all summer long!

Make Your BBQ Party Perfect With The BBQ Queens,
By Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Man "Jimmy Moore" (Spartanburg, SC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: BBQ Bash: The Be-all, End-all Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie (Paperback)
You gotta love the BBQ Queens Karen Adler and Judith Fertig! I first met Karen at the 2007 HPBA Expo in Reno, NV where I interviewed her for my podcast show and then I saw her again earlier this year at the 2008 HPBA Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. In that YouTube video I shot from this year's conference, she told me about this new book that was coming out and now it's here. If you like BBQ (and what low-carber DOESN'T?!), then you will enjoy this very colorful and loaded cookbook. Yes, there are a bunch of recipes (not all low-carb, but all super delicious!), but there are also tips about adding just a little something extra special to whatever party event you are having around the grill. If you wanna BBQ right, then you gotta trust the BBQ Queens. :D

Outstanding BBQ party book,

This review is from: BBQ Bash: The Be-all, End-all Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie (Paperback)
This is one of the finest party cook books ever done. The reason is that it gives great ideas and then lists alternative choices of ingredients. It makes cooking flexible and fun. Adler and Fertig are wonderful in their presentations but this book is exceptional and full of fresh ideas and approaches to serving a real Bash!
