Arkansas Cooks

I am so glad you're here! Inside you'll find information about episodes of Arkansas Cooks and great recipes from listeners, my family and even some of the cooks featured on Arkansas Cooks over the years on FM 89 KUAR. We also plan to add an archive of Arkansas Cooks episodes in the near future, so stay tuned!

Speaking of recipes, I invite you to find a recipe, try it out for your family and friends, and then come back and rate it to let me and everyone else know what you thought of the recipe. You can even add a comment about the recipe if you have more to say than stars can show! Have a recipe you'd like to share with other Arkansas Cooks fans? Click Submit a Recipe up at the top to send us your favorite recipe.

I also want to make sure you know about the Twedt Family Cookbook! It's a collection of favorite family recipes my family has gathered and handed down through the generations, and when we put them all together, we knew we had a special cookbook that we had to make available to you. You can buy the Twedt Family Cookbook right here on the Arkansas Cooks website. Pay securely, and we'll ship it to you ASAP!

Thanks again for stopping by ArkansasCooks.com!

I am doing a second show of this because it was supposed to be aired before Chrismas and I have caught the worst cold. You don’t realize it until it happens, but you can’t record when you can’t talk. My family and co-workers are enjoying the silence but it doesn’t make for good radio. Enjoy the show!

This week is a repeat from Diane’s Gourmet Foods in West Little Rock. Diane Knight has a super store with and gives great advice for gift giving and hosting any holiday party.

Sarah and Heather have a great assortment of kitchen items that are as much fun to look at as it is to buy. Go to their website for information and items you can buy online.

This weeks show is at Whole Foods Market and boy,do they have the right stuff for Thanksgiving! They have fresh turkeys, amazing fresh veggies and the best cheese and cracker assortment you can imagine. They have wonderful desserts from the bakery and all the ingredients to make your own. This show actually aired last year so it is a repeat, but it is worth the repeat. Phillip is now at another Whole Foods in Tulsa but the Whole Foods in Little Rock is still booming! Go visit and see the amazingly fresh and creative food they have at the Market!  

I have not blogged in many days. But a great food night deserves the space. I wanted everyone to know that Ashley’s at the Capital Hotel continues to turn out some of the best food ever! Lee Richardson has a beautiful Farmers Menu that is all supplied by local farmers. His menu is the crème de la crème of Arkansas. There is a great 49. price fix that is some of the best food you ever eat. I am not a fan of chicken livers, however when my husband ordered the Oat Crusted Chicken Livers over Fresh Greens, I tasted them and don’t regret it one bite! My Sable fish was the tenderest and sweetest fish I have ever had. My husband beat again with his desert, Banana Cream Brule and Cake served with Browned Butter Ice Cream. The fact that everyone treats you like you are the Stephens is another reason to go to Ashley’s and the Capital Hotel. They even had our names on the menus because it was our anniversary, Wow!  You really can’t beat and the wine pairing was only 20.00 with the meal. A great bargain for some amazing wine!
