What happens when two food bloggers get into the kitchen with some favorite culinary souvenirs from their home state? They whip up a cookbook, of course!

From grocery stores to gift shops, from the airport to the Internet, our local foods celebrate the best of Rhode Island. Del's Lemonade, Kenyon's Corn Meal, Dave's Coffee Syrup and all things Wicked Natural -- in this book, you'll find fun new ways to use the sauces, condiments and mixes we love so much that we stock them in our own pantries.We searched our state from end to end, visiting shops, farm stands and farmers markets to find the best culinary souvenirs. We tested and tasted, and chose the products with no influence from any of the companies. Then we headed to the kitchen to explore new ways to combine our finds with fresh, local ingredients.The end result? A cookbook that brings the best of the best products out of the gift shop and into your kitchen, in healthy, creative recipes that are easy for any home cook.
