Stacy Lyn’s “Cook Fresh Food Every Day of the Year” Cookbook

Co-host of The Sporting Chef shares her tips and more than 100 recipes for food from the garden, pasture, woods, and water

With nine mouths to feed on a daily basis, Alabama chef Stacy Lyn Harris keeps it simple, but doesn’t skimp on elegance. Her seven kids enjoy homegrown food, prepared beautifully and sustainably thanks to a few chickens in the back, a year-round kitchen garden, milk from a dairy farmer just outside of town, and locally-sourced free-range meats.

There are cherished family recipes, free-range meat dishes derived from her husband’s hunting obsession, and lighter takes on decidedly southern classics all prepared simply, in the freshest way possible. The book covers food from the garden, pasture, woods, and water in four sections:

The Garden features Fried Green Tomatoes, Jalapeño Poppers, Corn Chowder, Fried Squash with Tomatoes and Pesto, and other recipes to make you wish it was summer all year long.
