June's Books




“Guy Fieri Food” is a big, bold , colorful volume, much like the author himself. Fieri writes about his lifelong love of food and tells stories about his family and friends. He started with a pretzel cart when he was a child, opened a restaurant “Johnny Garlic” and became a fixture on television food shows. Many of the recipes feature frilled meats, bacon, and hot peppers. There’s bacon-wrapped shrimp with chipotle BBQ sauce, banana pepper sauerkraut, and penne with Cajun hot links and chipotle shrimp.
Not all the recipes are so over-the-top. There are also some with interesting flavors, but lighter on the heat and the meat. Like pepper jack pretzels, coffee bananas foster, and watermelon pork tacos.
