Bobbi Jo Lathan leaves no stove un-turned as she takes you on her American culinary adventure across all 50 states. This Skillet Diva not only whets your appetite with over 240 pages of her delicious recipes, but also offers you the fascinating histories and stories of how these uniquely American foods evolved. By the end of this unusual cookbook, you will rest assured that this nation's abundance , diversity and individuality is still alive and well. As Bobbi Jo says, "Just look around. In every bite of corn-dog dipped in mustard, in every piled-high Navajo taco, in every plate of fresh shrimp scampi, every slice of shoo-fly pie, or in every bowl of crawfish gumbo, there is proof that this great country, called The United States of America, is still "cookin' with a right smart of love."

About the author

Bobbi Jo is a cookbook author, actress, musical comedienne and master of improv, whose talents have ranged from Broadway to Hollywood. She began her acting career in the Broadway production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and went on to play the lead role of the Madam in the Las Vegas production as well as in several touring companies. A few years after her Broadway debut, Bobbi Jo was flown to Los Angeles to shoot a television pilot. While the pilot wasn't picked up, she decided to stay in L.A. and quickly landed guest-starring roles on popular television shows such as Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show and Beverly Hills 90210, to name a few. She then came up with the idea to integrate her love of cooking with her acting, and wrote her own one-woman Food Musical entitled, Cookin' With A Right Smart Of Love. This led to the writing of her first cookbook for the show, by the same title, followed by The Skillet Diva Cookbook and now, her third cookbook entitled "An American Gal's Cookbook."
