New Releases by Patrick Neely

The author created an after school program called Surf N Chess. He combined the two loves of his life, playing chess and surfing, creating a program for 5th and 6th graders to learn how to play chess using surfing terms and music as a way of rewarding winners.

For Pat and Gina Neely the secret to a truly happy home is a lively mix of food and family. In their new book, the best-selling authors draw on their down-home roots and revisit the classic Southern recipes that have been passed down through generations. We're drawn into the kitchens of their mothers and grandmothers and back to a time when produce was picked in the backyard garden and catfish was caught on afternoon fishing trips with Grandpa. In their signature style, Pat and Gina have taken the dishes they were raised on and updated them for today's kitchens. Inside you'll find 100 recipes, including Small Batch Strawberry Jam (best when eaten with Easy Buttermilk and Cream Biscuits), Bourbon French Toast, Crunchy Fried Okra, Skillet Corn Bread, Grilled Succotash, Skillet Roasted Chicken, and Brunswick Stew (which combines a little of everything in your fridge). Pat and Gina believe good food leads to good times and Back Home with the Neelys is sure to bring back fond memories of the tradition, history, and flavors that are present in every family.

The long-awaited debut cookbook from the celebrated husband-and-wife team, hosts of their own top-rated Food Network show, contains more than 100 mouthwatering recipes. The Neelys' love for good food is infectious.
