Recent graduate Will Guy (\u201913) can add author to his resume. The former Georgia Southern student spent his last semester on campus going to class, cramming for exams and finding time to write a cookbook, which launched as an e-book on Cyber Monday 2013. \u201cThe idea to write the book came from a friend who asked me for a few recipes so he could make a meal to impress a girl,\u201d Guy said. \u201cI told him how to make curry chicken stew over jasmine rice served with a fresh garden salad and citrus Thai chili vinaigrette. My friend later suggested I write my recipes down and share them with fellow students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guy, who hails from suburban Atlanta, ran with the idea and sought the advice of a publisher who attends his hometown church. He ultimately wrote The Audacity to Cook<\/em>, which not only offers simple recipes but also provides basic tips on how to measure ingredients, and what kitchen tools and food staples to keep on hand. The young author said online sales have been impressive but he plans to roll out some printed copies this year. \u201cMy goal is to get Georgia Southern students to buy it and tell their friends. With social media making things move so fast, I am sure we will get the word out about my book.\u201d<\/p>\n The 69-page cookbook has a collection of easy-to-follow recipes to suit the palate of most students, including a chapter that features vegetarian dishes. In the chapter titled \u201c5 Days until Payday, I\u2019m Starving and only got $20,\u201d Guy shows students how to whip up tasty meals using leftovers and very little money. His favorite recipe is in the first chapter, \u201cWho\u2019s Counting Calories?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Nasty Dawg is not your ordinary hot dog,\u201d the 21-year-old said. \u201cIt is wrapped in bacon, dipped in beer batter, deep-fried and topped with chili, cheese, diced onions, jalapenos and Doritos chips. It\u2019s messy but delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n After graduating in December, Guy began his restaurant management internship at the Emory University Conference Center in Atlanta. He credits Georgia Southern with putting him firmly on the path toward achieving his dream of opening his own restaurant one day.<\/p>\n \u201cI have to say that Georgia Southern was definitely the right choice for me and not just academically. I\u2019ve made countless connections and memories…\u2018True Blue\u2019 is tattooed in my heart where nothing can ever replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n Perhaps sometime soon, Guy\u2019s recipes will be etched in our stomachs as well. – Sandra Bennett<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recent Graduate Serves up eCookbook for Budget-Conscious Students<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[43],"class_list":["post-5116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","tag-spring-2014"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
