Nancy Davis – författare

For generations, coastal North Carolinians have prepared and savored time-honored recipes that are as much a part of their tradition as boatbuilding and netmaking. Home-cooked meals using the great variety of seasonal foods remain central to family life. In this collection Nancy Davis and Kathy Hart have preserved an important part of the heritage of this region.Here thirty-four Tar Heel cooks offer recipes that can''t be found in popular cookbooks or on restaurant menus. In Edenton, Frances Drane Inglis shares her recipe for plum pudding from the pages of a nineteenth-century family cookbook. And from Gloucester, Bill Pigott offers one of his specialties, conch chowder, a Carteret County classic. But these cooks describe more than just good food; they recount the heritage of the coast through stories, anecdotes, helpful tips, and historical facts. Vignettes on each cook lend a historical perspective to this book and the old-time recipes will be treasured for years to come.

Healthy Cooking Recipes Being Healthy in an Unhealthy World One of the hardest things we can do in today''s world is keep our bodies healthy. Yes, we might have the means, but we simply do not have the knowledge! If you step outside you will see dozens of fast food restaurants, all offering deals that seem too good to be true, and they probably are. Sure you''ll get your fill, but how will your body feel afterward? How do we compensate for the extra fat and the high amounts of salt that we insist on eating every single day. Did you know that the average American consumes twice the recommended salt content in a given year? Before you reach for that salt shaker again however, you might want to consider what this book has to say. From natural recipes, to meal planning, and even smoothies, you will find that this book is a gateway to a healthier lifestyle. Everyone has a different body type and what works for one person may not work for another, but that doesn''t mean you can''t try.
