AuthorsLive is excited to welcome Daytime Emmy Award–winning chef and recipe creator, Frankie Celenza, author of EAT: Easy, Affordable, Tasty: 100 Recipes with All of the Flavor and None of the Fuss. Frankie will be joined in conversation with George Motz, renowned chef, burger authority, and Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker.

EAT is the antithesis to the never-ending competition for the most elaborate, expensive, complicated, and shocking dishes showcased both on tv and social media. While you might recognize Frankie from Struggle Meals, he started his career with the goal to help people who felt overwhelmed cooking at home. For a dish to be featured in this book, it must meet three simple criteria:

EASY: Each dish must be easy, which means nothing takes more than 20 minutes of hands-on cooking time.
AFFORDABLE: Each dish must be affordable, meaning there aren’t any fancy specialty ingredients, and what is used, is used fully.
TASTY: Each dish must taste great; classic ingredient combinations play the nostalgia card that readers identify with.

Dishes like these have become part of Frankie’s repertoire of family meals that can be made over and over again and never go out of style. Frankie has put his spin on classic American dishes, dove headfirst into practical trends, and provided the context of the culinary techniques that take these dishes to the next level.

Join us if you’re ready for Frankie’s recipes to make your life easier—whether you’re a novice in the kitchen, on a budget, or want to spend less time cooking your meals and more time enjoying them.

Copies of EAT: Easy, Affordable, Tasty will be available for purchase and signing, with thanks to Diane’s Books.

Introducing Portland, Maine

For those who can’t stand the heat, for those who like charming coastal cities, for those who like the size of this little town, for those who love food, for those who love travel… may I introduce you to Portland, Maine.

Clocking in with a population of just 68,313 residents, it seems hard to believe that Portland is Maine’s largest city.
