Day 4 focuses on the foodie who likes to get in the kitchen and get involved. Today we highlight one of our favorite new cookbooks, Flavors of the Southern Coast – Cooking with Tommy Bahama.

From a recent release from Tommy Bahama:

“Flavors of the Southern Coast features over 100 recipes and serves up an abundance of simply delicious soups, salads, seafood, poultry, desserts, cocktails and so much more. Many creations are Tommy Bahama Restaurants and Bars specialties and guest favorites that continue to stir the palette including its Seafood Avocado Cocktail, Crab Bisque, Baby Back Ribs with Blackberry Brandy Sauce, Quinoa Succotash, and of course, its signature Key Lime Pie. The cookbook’s mouthwatering menu proudly honors elements from both land and sea incorporating dynamic ingredients, farm fresh produce and locally sourced livestock from the versatile bounty of the Gulf Coast states. Spicy chilies, fragrant citrus fruits, succulent shrimp, and market greens, all Southern staples, make for meaningful meals infused with interesting and colorful profiles. The Tommy Bahama food and drink story would not be complete without the inclusion of original, hand-crafted, cocktails designed by superb mixologists divining inspiration from the playful, warm atmospheres synonymous with the Southern Coast.”

The cookbook is a great stocking stuffer for the aspiring chef on your list. You can purchase a copy at our local Tommy Bahama store and Restaurant at Grand Boulevard at Sandestin or by visiting them online.
