Book: Pop Life: The Ultimate 80's Kitchen Encore

Author Bio: Chef Alicia Shevetone is a pop-up chef, cookbook author, television personality, and creator of Dink Cuisine, a food and entertainment organization that curates culinary experiences across print, digital, social, and live media. Her first cookbook, Italian Cookbook for Two, features 24 recipes from first course (Antipasti) to dessert (Dolce), and everything in between! Her highest rated cookbook to date, this gem immediately puts home cooks at ease, while encouraging them to experiment with traditional flavor combinations like butter and anchovies, capers and lemon, and truffles and cream.

An expert in low-carb lifestyles, Chef Alicia's second cookbook, Vegetarian Ketogenic Cookbook for Beginners, was released in October 2021. By unlocking the protein-packed potential of vegetables and other meat-free foods, this book seamlessly combines the benefits of the lacto-ovo vegetarian and ketogenic diets to help you live a healthier life. With 75 recipes and a meal plan - it is Chef Alicia's most popular cookbook to date.

Chef Alicia's third cookbook, Food with Spirit: Alcohol-Infused Recipes, is on pre-sale now and ships September 26, 2023. Food With Spirit is 116 pages and features fifty recipes spread across five sections: Appetizers, Soups, Entrees, Sides, and Desserts. All fifty recipes are infused with some of our favorite intoxicants, from spiced rum to the smooth flavors of cognac. Each recipe is complemented with beautiful photos, and accompanied by Shevetone's delightfully entertaining stories as a Gen X celebrity chef who's always up for a killer time!

Welcome back to The Well Seasoned Librarian. I’m your announcer, Xavier.

Today, host Dean Jones is joined by a powerhouse talent who is as sharp with a cast-iron skillet as she is with a Telecaster. Music Row named her the 'Next Big Thing,' and while she’s earned her stripes as a Fender Next artist and a CMT 'Next Woman of Country,' Whiskey Riff notes she remains one of Nashville’s best-kept secrets—a true entertainer in the vein of a young Chris Stapleton.

She has amassed over 1.5 million followers online, but her 'Honkytonk Graceland' lifestyle is the real deal. Whether she’s performing on stage or hosting her viral YouTube cooking show, 'Stand By Your Pan,' she is dedicated to preserving the best of country soul.

We’ll be diving into her brand-new album, The Other Damn Half, her upcoming headlining tour, and her highly anticipated new book, 'Stand By Your Pan.' Please welcome the incomparable... Hannah Dasher!"
