Pat and Gina Neely of the popular Food Network TV show, "Down Home With the Neelys," are coming to Lemuria Books to sign their latest cookbook, "The Neelys' Celebration Cookbook: Down-Home Meals for Every Occasion" (Knopf, 2011, $28.95).
Believing that the important things in life are family, friends and sharing food, the Neelys have included 146 recipes for holidays and special occasions. The book, available Nov. 1, also includes recipes for non-traditional events such as neighborhood warmings, harvest parties, all-nighters and spring-cleaning parties.
The couple and Pat's three brothers own Neely's Bar-B-Que, a family restaurant they opened in 1988 in downtown Memphis, Tenn. The restaurant now has four locations: two in Memphis, one in Nashville, Tenn., and a barbecue parlor in New York City. The Neelys also have two online stores that sell meat, their signature sauces and seasonings, apparel, DVDs and books.
Their book tour kicks off Nov. 1 in New York City and ends Dec. 3 in Memphis.
Meet Pat and Gina Neely Friday, Nov. 18, at 5 p.m. at Lemuria Books (202 Banner Hall, 4465 Interstate 55 N., 601-366-7619) when they sign copies of "The Neelys' Celebration Cookbook: Down-Home Meals for Every Celebration." Contact Lemuria to reserve your copy.
UPDATE: The book signing has been postponed until further notice. We will update jfpevents.com when a reschedule date is announced.
