Meet Cade and Carrian Cheney in their debut cookbook,
Our Sweet Basil Kitchen, based on their very popular blog,
Oh, Sweet Basil, which has amassed a dedicated and
popular following since its debut in 2013 and is one of the few cooking blogs by a husband-and-wife team.
Their fresh approach to cooking appeals to a new generation of enthusiasts who love to cook and who want to share the experience of cooking together alongside a real couple. Cade and
Carrian’s stories of cooking together and their exuberant affection for the traditional fine-tuned regional cuisines invite readers to share their own stories and attempt their own culinary
creations. The flavor palettes of their roots-the South for him and the Pacific Northwest for her- have lead to their joyful creations of amazing and ingenious food mash-ups,
including
Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna and
Roasted Red Pepper Mac ’n Cheese.
Carrian grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and her cooking essentials are great food finds in farm-to-table produce and bringing out the robust flavors of natural and healthy eating. Her
recipes include
Heirloom Tomato Tart. Cade was raised in South Carolina and loves all things Southern-particularly those that involve a grill. His recipes
include
Steak Burritos with Grilled Zucchini and
