“I Love Corn is an exuberant book which is all about corn and optimism.  Like bacon - its food-affable cousin from the world of protein - the addition of corn to almost any recipe makes anything taste even better. Lisa Skye knows that, and she has curated a winning collection of recipes starring corn that will make you salivate and smile.”

- Restaurateur Danny Meyer

About The Book | By Lisa Skye

After losing my father suddenly on Valentine's Day 2004, I got so much support and love in the year that followed, I knew that I want to “give back” as a away to say thank you. So I created the I LOVE CORN Cookbook in 2007, which includes 50 corn-centric recipes donated by famous and award-winning chefs from across the country. It is a fun way for me to both honor my father and support a great cause! 75% of the proceeds will go directly to The Dougy Center.

The Dougy Center, is the National Center for Grieving Children & Families. It’s an organization that supports children and young adults who have lost a parent - and also trains facilitators at 500 plus locations around the world to support children in centers just like theirs.

I love all the recipes in I LOVE CORN, but there are two that stand out:

 

Dominic Giuliano's Lobster & Corn Bruschetta

It’s always a crowd pleaser! Easy to make, light, zesty and just a touch creamy... perfect for summer gatherings!

 

Hong Thaimee's Corn Fritters

They are totally addictive! The red curry paste makes them slightly spicy, but the sugar and coconut gives them a subtle sweetness too... and the pairing with the pickled cucumbers and shallots is to absolutely to die for!
