A signed copy of Emeril's TV Dinners cookbook by Emeril Lagasse.  The handsigned inscription says "Thank You! BAM. Emeril/08" and was signed in May 2008 in New Orleans with National Trust for Historic Preservation volunteers present. 

From Library Journal: Lagasse's cooking series on the TV Food Network have become incredibly popular, making him one of the best-known chefs today. Enthusiastic (not to say over the top), talented, and full of energy, Lagasse recently opened his third restaurant in New Orleans; he has another restaurant in Las Vegas, and he's written several other cookbooks, including Emeril's Creole Christmas (LJ 11/15/97). His latest book "Emeril's TV Dinners" includes favorite recipes from the series Emeril Live and Essence of Emeril, gathered in chapters such as "Pork Fat Rules," "Singin' Sweets," and "Emerilized Starters." Sure to be in demand, this is recommended for all cookbook collections. -- Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
