Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cookingby Virginia Willis
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"The playful title of this Southern-French cookbook belies its studious attitude to cookery. Willis, a chef who has cooked for the White House and stars like Aretha Franklin and Jane Fonda, grew up in Georgia and Louisiana, absorbing her mother's and grandmother's repertoire of grits, casseroles and gumbos before developing her professional skills at French cooking academies. The result is a hybrid cuisine she calls 'refined Southern,' which applies traditional French technique and lighter ingredients to produce new versions of Southern staples. Her collard greens are cooked up with smoked salt instead of hog jowl; her cornbread is dressed with panko. Sprinkled liberally throughout are the Southern ingredients that Willis was raised on: Vidalia onions, okra, Georgia pecans and peaches. Willis's approach is faithful, yet she's unafraid to reinvent culinary clichs when necessary — like making pimiento cheese from scratch. Some of her creations — like a 'tipsy' salad, riffing on the frat boy combo of watermelon and vodka; Yukon Gold and Edamame Mash; and Coca-Cola Glazed Baby Back Ribs — elevate mundane flavors with sheer ingenuity. Magnificent color photos; detailed, helpful tips; and Willis's cheerful, trustworthy guidance make this an original and welcome newcomer to a classic cookbook library." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Before she attended the prestigious French cooking school cole de Cuisine La Varenne, Virginia Willis had been shelling butterbeans alongside her mother and grandmother in her Georgia family kitchen ever since she could stand on a stool.

Brimming with stories, tips, techniques, and gorgeous photographs, BON APPTIT, YALL seamlessly blends Williss Southern and French roots into a memorable and thoroughly modern cookbook. Synopsis:Reflecting three generations of family recipes and stories, this beautiful gift book combines a contemporary Southern sensibility with classical French technique.
