Truly Madly Pizza by Suzanne Lenzer
I love pizza - especially homemade pizza, so I was really excited to check out this cookbook! I like that the author first gives a basic pizza dough recipe with a whole wheat variation included. Then she talks about a few sauce recipes and then gets into "whole" pizza recipes. Of course you can put any number of toppings on pizza, but there were a few combinations that I'd like to try. Overall, a good basic pizza cookbook.
Lighten Up, Y'all by Virginia Willis
This is a great cookbook that takes some classic Southern recipes and "lightens" them up a little to make them more healthy. I appreciate that the author points out how most Southern cooking was originally very healthy and inspired by fresh veggies grown in backyard gardens, but has somehow devolved into everything being deep fried somehow equals "Southern." I was already familiar with Virginia Willis from her Savor the South cookbook about okra - my favorite veggie to grow and eat! There are definitely some recipes I plan to try from this one. If you're a Southerner or a fan of Southern food then definitely check this one out!
