An award-winning author and publisher, she jokes she\u2019ll come back in another life as a chef.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today Alter finds herself cooking in a four-by-six kitchen where zoning laws forbid built-ins but allow anything that plugs in. So she cooks with a hot plate, toaster oven, and a large refrigerator\/freezer. Given these limitations, she has developed a new approach to food, one that she says lets her get in touch with the food itself. By choice, she does not have an Insta-Pot, an air-fryer, a microwave. Her menu choices are dictated by her cooking facilities\u2014and she loves it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She shares her tiny kitchen tips and recipes, developed over the past couple of years, in Gourmet on a Hot Plate. <\/em>Alter is the author of three previous cookbooks: Cooking My Way through Life with Kids and Books, Texas is Chili Country, <\/em>and Extraordinary Texas Chefs,<\/em>and a contributor to Bake, Love, Write <\/em>and We\u2019d Rather Be Writing. <\/em>Her recipe for Doris\u2019 Casserole has been included in so many books it\u2019s almost an American classic by now.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be part of her ongoing cooking adventure at the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Gourmet on a Hot Plate blog<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>, where she encourages discussion and welcomes recipes, comments, and questions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u2551<\/span><\/span>Website<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u2551 <\/span><\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u2551 <\/span><\/span>Judy’s Stew Blog<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u2551 <\/span><\/span>Twitter <\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2551 <\/span><\/span>Goodreads<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u2551 <\/span><\/span>Amazon Author Page<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u2551 <\/span><\/span>Gourmet on a Hot Plate Blog<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOUR SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/p>\n This tour is complete; go directly to the blog tour stops by clicking the links below.<\/strong><\/p>\n 4\/24\/19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Author Interview<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.lonestarliterary.com\/sites\/lonestarliterary.etypegoogle10.com\/files\/field\/image\/cover%20med%20res%20jpeg.jpg\")
<\/strong>ABOUT THE BOOK: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Gourmet on a Hot Plate<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> is a collection of recipes and kitchen tips compiled after living for some time in a 600-square-foot cottage, with a tiny kitchen, no stove, no dishwasher, and barely any counter space. Given these limitations, Judy Alter developed a new approach to food, one that let her get in touch with the food itself. She does not have an Insta-Pot, an air-fryer, or a microwave. Her recipes call for using either a magnetic induction hot plate or a toaster oven. In the introduction, she explains her choices for making the best use of her tiny space. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-IbPHSZKu1-U\/XLuQY0VeiOI\/AAAAAAAAOPM\/TuaTIyhvSOI4bjQtMlTph_6rJ494-BiPQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/add-to-goodreads-button31.png\"](\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-IbPHSZKu1-U\/XLuQY0VeiOI\/AAAAAAAAOPM\/TuaTIyhvSOI4bjQtMlTph_6rJ494-BiPQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/add-to-goodreads-button31.png\")
