Down Home with the Neelys
Barbecue Deviled Eggs 1 dozen large eggs 3 tbsp mayonnaise 2 tbsp barbecue sauce* 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp yellow mustard Generous pinch kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Dash or two hot sauce 2 scallions, very thinly sliced Paprika, for garnish Bring a medium saucepan of water to a lively simmer. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water and simmer for 9 minutes. Reduce heat if the simmer becomes too lively (so the eggs don’t crack). Drain the water from the saucepan and run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs, and cut them in half. Carefully remove the yolks (they should be slightly creamy) and place them in a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, mustard, salt, pepper and hot sauce, and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Use a small spoon to scoop the yolk mixture back into the whites. Garnish the tops with thinly sliced scallions and a dash of paprika. Makes 24 irresistible eggs, serving 6 to 8 * Note: The recipe for Neely’s Bar-B-Q Sauce is in the cookbook. —from the book Down Home with the Neelys
Down Home with the Neelys
Never in their wildest dreams did Patrick and Gina Neely think they’d have their own cooking show, but now in addition to co-owning some of Tennessee’s most acclaimed barbecue restaurants where they serve the best ribs in Memphis and Nashville, they’re the hottest new stars on the Food Network®. In this unique cookbook, the Neelys share more than 120 recipes for the delicious Southern fare that have made them Tennessee’s barbecue powerhouse couple, along with their inspiring story of hard-won success and of falling in love along the way. Pat turned up the heat when he made Gina late-night feasts of spicy Wings of Fire before he proposed to her. That recipe is here, along with the Neelys’ “insanely thick, rich, and sweet” Bar-B-Q Sauce, lots of refreshing salads (a mainstay at the Neelys’ family table), stick-to-your-ribs sides, Momma Neely's Sock-It-to-Me Cake (“At the restaurant, this dessert rules the house!” says Gina) and all of the other show-stealing entrées and desserts that have made this husband-and-wife team such a tremendous success. Add to the mix family photos and touching reminiscences, and Down Home With the Neelys is a true Southern treat!

I have rated this book a five because I know that the Neely's put their heart & soul in it. I have enjoyed the recipes that I have tried; and I likes the way the book told a story.

What a Lovely Book
November 07, 2009
Only recently have I discovered that cookbooks are more than a collection of recipes with pretty pictures. I enjoyed this book as much for the lovely story of a hard working, successful family as for the delightful recipes. After I read it from cover to cover, I passed it on to my next door neighbor who told me that she was enjoying the "story" and saving the recipes.

I will always love my mama
November 07, 2009
My mama is gone but I find myself attempting to replicate some of her recipes on occasion from memory and failing miserably. I've purchased this cookbook 4 times because I don't want it to be a secret about how good The Neely's recipes are and how much they remind me of Mama. Not so much the Barbecue recipes but the southern peripheral recipes. The Collard Greens recipe had my coworkers wondering if I found a new soul food joint here in DC!

No one was more surprised than I
October 27, 2009
....at the success of this book. I for one do not like the show. I think the double entendres belong on Craig Ferguson's Late Night Show, not the Food Network, but my cousin made me watch and I ordered this book for her. Now I think I will keep it for myself, 'cause the recipes look so freakin' GOOD! I try to overlook the chicken "breast" jokes and focus on the content of the food, but I must admit the Neely's are growing on me.
