I have so many cookbooks that I swear they're reproducing when I'm not looking. These are some great ones to add to your collection. Any of the Culinaria books are just amazing, but they can be hard to find. And any Donna Hay book is one you'll go to again and again. Oh, and don't forget Dan & Steve's Talk With Your Mouth Full. Good stuff!

FINALLY all four of Hans' signature spice blends have arrived and are now available!

Cajun Joe is spicy blend used for blackend meats or seasoning vegetables, potatoes or gumbo.

Honey Buzz is a sweet-hot blend that's good on everything from chops to popcorn.

Out of the Blue is a seasoned sea salt blend with lavender flowers, corriander, and white pepper.

Sugar Baby is raw turbinado sugar with cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.

This four pack will make an excellent gift for someone you love or just keep them for yourself and enjoy them every day.

Eat Like There's No Tomorrow

Shortly after finishing third in the Next Food Network Star television series in 2005, one of Jasper, Georgia’s favorite sons and culinary sensation Hans Rueffert was diagnosed with stage-three stomach cancer. He lost most of his stomach and esophagus to the disease, but gained more than he could have imagined—a perspective which has heightened his childlike appreciation for the finer things in life; family, friends, colors and flavors.

You will be educated, entertained and inspired as Hans, the personable and gracious host of Hans Cooks the South, reveals his story through a beautifully written and illustrated cookbook, Eat Like There’s No Tomorrow. A natural storyteller with an appreciation for irony and an eye for all things beautiful, Hans shares his optimistic measuring cup-half-full perspective with this light-hearted collection of original recipes, engaging narratives and glorious photographs.

The original photographs, magical moments harvested and preserved, will stimulate your appetite and the narratives will delight and satisfy you. Who knew growing your own tomatoes, searching for wild ramps, or breakfasting on a shrimp boat could be such an adventure? And though there’s plenty of sustenance here to satisfy, you may not quite be ready to leave the table. You will likely crave a second helping of Hans’ tales, “restaurant boy” revelations and quiet, cancer- wizened perspectives gleaned from living authentically and deliberately.
