Hot: Firehouse Meals that Sizzle!

It seems like the hearty meal that was quickly cooked and satisfied a man-sized hunger went out of style with the Model-T and the Minnie Pearl. Most "home-cooking" and "southern cooking" cookbooks claim to be filled with easy-to-make recipes that appeal to the old-fashioned appetite, but only a few are scattered throughout their pages. For years now, culinary artist Anna Terra has been sharing her passion of cooking with family, friends, church organizations, local firehouses, and the homeless. Now in her first book, Anna shares how easy it is to put together a rib-sticking meal with just a few ingredients from any average household. Hot is bursting with good old-fashioned, home-style recipes that are as fast to make as they are fun to eat — it's a mealtime rescue plan that sizzles.
