In the highly anticipated follow-up to her bestselling Screen Doors & Sweet Tea, Martha Hall Foose shares recipes and stories that are even closer to her home and heart. A Southerly Course delves deep into Mississippi Delta flavors and foodways, where Martha finds inspiration in local ingredients—from figs and sweet potatoes to crawfish and venison. In her signature style, she pairs each recipe with an anecdote or words of advice, her memorable tales about each dish lingering long after the last bite has been polished off. Martha’s beloved Southern cuisine is a fresh take on homey favorites fiercely protected by the locals, including Skillet Fried Corn, Sweet Pickle Braised Pork Shoulder, and Blackberry Jelly Roll. Dishes such as Sweet-and-Sour Salsify and Peanut Chicken, on the other hand, reflect the influence other cuisines have had on Southern cooking. Martha’s lifelong bond with Mississippi is most apparent when she introduces her friends and family; she dedicates Burgundy Duck to a fiery group of women duck hunters called the Swamp Witches, while her cousin’s new wife inspires Korean-style Grilled Green Onions. And in recalling her former neighbor, the famed author Eudora Welty, she reveals the secret to a perfect Custard Pie. With more than 100 recipes and beautiful color photographs, this book is a wonderful, personal look into the South that Martha loves. Gather around her table in A Southerly Course for unforgettable food and vivid stories, both hallmarks in a rich Southern tradition.

Now Neiman Marcus opens another door, this time to their acclaimed kitchens, with their 100th anniversary cookbook—a retrospective of the timeless, legendary dishes that have satisfied generations of Americans over the past fifty years. The Zodiac, Neiman Marcus’s first restaurant, debuted in the company’s Dallas flagship store in 1953. It was a sensation, combining the indulgences of great shopping with satisfying dining. Over the years, the initial Director of Restaurants, the renowned Helen Corbitt, elevated the culinary stature of the Neiman Marcus food operation from comforting and delicious to elegant and iconic. Taking up where Helen Corbitt left off, Executive Chef Kevin Garvin has continued to build on this foundation and to enhance the Neiman Marcus reputation for superb food and wonderful recipes. More than a celebratory collection,Neiman Marcus Tastewill delight not only the store’s loyal devotees but also home cooks across the country with more than 110 recipes for every occasion. Ranging from Sunday supper favorites, such as Potato and Bacon Soup and Chicken Tetrazzini, to dinner-party showstoppers, including Lobster Macaroni and Cheese and Pear Galettes with Caramel Sauce and Coconut Ice Cream, the recipes in this collection are both nostalgic and innovative. And Garvin doesn’t forget to include Neiman Marcus’s timeless classics, such as Savory Parmesan Popovers, Garlic and Herb Monkey Bread, and Chocolate Velvet Cake. Neiman Marcus Tasteis truly a commemoration of the Neiman Marcus traditions of sophistication, elegance, and luxury. An ode to 100 extraordinary years, this lavishly illustrated cookbook is both an homage to Neiman Marcus’s culinary tradition and a compilation of the creative, contemporary dishes on the menu today.
Drawing on the most important studies in psychology, human aggression, anthropology, and primatology, and on hundreds of original interviews conducted over a period of more than 20 years, this groundbreaking treatise urges women to look within and to consider other women realistically, ethically, and kindly and to forge bold and compassionate alliances. Without this necessary next step, women will never be liberated. Detailing how women's aggression may not take the same form as men's, this investigation reveals—through myths, plays, memoir, theories of revolutionary liberation movements, evolution, psychoanalysis, and childhood development—that girls and women are indeed aggressive, often indirectly and mainly toward one another. This fascinating work concludes by showing that women depend upon one another for emotional intimacy and bonding, and exclusionary and sexist behavior enforces female conformity and discourages independence and psychological growth.
