While You Were Sleeping - Softcover

SIDE ORDERS is celebrated food writer John Egerton's affectionate tribute to the "forever food" of Southern history: country ham and skillet-fried chicken, grits and black-eyed peas, cornbread and biscuits, pecan pie and blackberry cobbler, plus scores of other classic dishes and drinks. He has gathered recipes and anecdotes that range from the sea-level Cajun and Creole quarters of Louisiana to the mountain precints of the Ozarks and Appalachia, and from the ethnic ports of Florida to the landlocked country and soul-food enclaves of the Southern heartland.

John Butler has written and illustrated numerous top selling books for children, all of which have featured the environment or animals in their natural habitats. His other books include Can You Cuddle Like a Koala?, Hush Little Ones and Pi-shu the Little Panda, and collaborated with author Sally Grindley on Polar Star, Little Tang and Little Elephant Thunderfoot which was shortlisted for the picture book categories of both the Sheffield Children's Book Award 1997 and The Federation of Children's Book Groups Awards 1997. John lives in Kent.
