THE BOYS FROM BILOXI

Doubleday

John Grisham

We've been long-time fans of John Grisham and in The Boys From Biloxi: A Legal Thriller, he returns to Mississippi to tell the story of 2 sons of immigrant families who become friends but end up leading very different lives.

While we learn about Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco, we also get to know about Biloxi and how this beach and resort town has another side that includes gambling, bootlegging, prostitution and more due to the Dixie Mafia!

True to John Grisham's classic twists and turns we'll get to see how this world comes together and how these men end up on different sides of the courtroom.

Prior to Spanish conquistadores that brought ingredients that included dairy, the Mesoamerican pantry centered around "The Three Sisters" - beans, corn and chiles. With this, they created salsas and moles. In addition, the cuisine focused on whole-foods for traditional meat fillings (mushroom carnitas and al pastor, jackfruit mixiote, dehydrated hibiscus) as well as nut-based cheeses (cashew crema and queso blanco, almond cotija).
