{"product_id":"9780989151764","title":"Small Brand America The Cookbook: Recipes from the companies featured in the book Small Brand America","description":"Small Brand America tells the stories of tiny companies, and the individuals behind them, competing in the grocery industry. Despite the odds stacked against them, companies like the ones featured in Small Brand America take on the large, nationally known \"megabrands\" and try to go beyond simply carving a niche in the market; they are attempting to break the stranglehold the larger companies have on the stores and buying consumers to become a household name in their own right. \u003cp\u003eSmall Brand America The Cookbook features recipes from the companies profiled in the original book. The idea for a cookbook came from a bonus section author Steve Akley had planned in Small Brand America. Noticing that many smaller companies were utilizing recipes as a way to connect to consumers, Steve began asking the individuals he was interviewing for his book to send him some recipes. Soon the volume of recipes had equaled the size-and-scope of his original book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot wanting to have a \"bonus section\" as big as the stories in his original book, he quickly realized he needed to create a second book. Released together, Small Brand America and Small Brand America The Cookbook are companion pieces but can be enjoyed mutually exclusive of each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following companies share their recipes in Small Brand America The Cookbook:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlaskan Brewing Company - alaskanbeer.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnderson's Maple Syrup - andersonmaplesyrup.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlanta Honey Company - atlantahoneycompany.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerkshire Cheese - berkshirecheese.com \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBove's Pasta Sauce - boves.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrother Bru-Bru's - brobrubru.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCBS Foods, Inc. - chefbigshake.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDes Moines Bacon Company - desmoinesbaconcompany.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDogtown Pizza - dogtownpizza.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreat Lakes Distillery - greatlakesdistillery.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHillcrest Ranch Sunol - hillcrestranch.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdaho Candy Company - idahospud.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJimmy's Salad Dressing - jimmysdressing.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJones Potato Chip Company - joneschips.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMercer's Dairy - mercersdairy.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. G's Hawaii-Style Teriyaki - mrgsteriyaki.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nashville Jam Company - thenashvillejamsco.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Akley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021074252016,"sku":"9780989151764","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780989151764_p0.jpg?v=1763894537","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780989151764","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
