Anytime I can support a Food Blogger, I will do that. (Of course, I'm a food blogger, but nowhere close to being ready to publish my own cookbook). Greg Henry has the blog "Sippity Sup" where he shares delectable recipes (mostly savory) with beautifully written stories. He's also a professional photographer. I've met him at a few food conventions, and he's both humble and very approachable. This book is short and simple, but not short on recipes that I would want to make. I need more appetizer ideas, and I found a few that I wanted to make. These recipes aren't more country comfort foods, but they're not also complex or too fru-fru. The cream cheese pie crust is amazing! For appetizers, I want to make his Prosciutto-Wrapped Fig Mini Pies. The Mushroom Tarte Tatin had me drooling. Braised Short Rib "Neeps and Tatties" Shepherd Pie. Count me in! He doesn't leave out the vegetarians, either. English Farmhouse Cheddar Onion Pie...yum! The Crawfish and Corn Turnovers sound intriguing. I haven't made a recipe, yet, but I am gearing up to do so. The photos are lovely, and the book isn't too expensive. Oh, and there are wine pairings as well (though I'm more of a beer drinker).
