For a while
there, Christmas meant another giant cookbook from Chef John Folse. It’s been
five years since the last one came out so Folse’s latest, “Can You Dig It:
Louisiana’s Authoritative Collection of Vegetable Cookery,” is especially
welcomed this holiday season.
The book launch for Folse’s an ode
to vegetables and Louisiana’s love affair with gardening at 6 p.m. Wednesday at
Barnes and Noble Citiplace in Baton Rouge. The evening will include the
unveiling of the cover image, tastings of recipes from the book and the
distribution of vegetable seeds for attendees to take home and grow on their
own.
Naturally, the book will be available
for purchase.
And Barnes
and Noble will donate 20 percent of the night’s total sales to Friends of
Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
The book
features more than 950 pages of vegetables with more than 600 vegetable-related
recipes that range from appetizers, soups, salads, sides, entrées, breads,
desserts and drinks. The retail price is $59.95.
Folse is the owner and executive
chef of his Louisiana-based corporations including Chef John Folse and Company Manufacturing, White Oak Plantation and Exceptional Endings Bakery
Division. He is CEO/CFO of Home on the Range: Folse Tramonto Restaurant Development
Company, parent corporation of Restaurant R’evolution, New Orleans, and Seafood
