Hi, y'all
This book is my proudest achievement so far, and I just have to tell y'all why I am so excited about it. It's a book of classic dishes, dedicated to a whole new generation of cooks--for every bride, graduate, and anyone who has a love of a great Southern meal. My family is growing and expanding all the time. We're blessed with marriages and grandbabies, and so sharing these recipes for honest, down-home dishes feels like passing a generation's worth of stovetop secrets on to my family, and yours.
I've been cooking and eating Southern food my whole life, and I can tell you that every meal you make from this book will be a mouthful of our one-of-akind spirit and traditions. These recipes showcase the diversity and ingenuity of Southern cuisine, from Cajun to Low-Country and beyond, highlighting the deep cultural richness of our gumbos and collards, our barbecues and pies. You may remember a few beloved classics from The Lady & Sons, but nearly all of these recipes are brand-new--and I think you'll find that they are all mouthwateringly delicious. It is, without a doubt, a true Southern cooking bible.
I sincerely hope that this book will take its place in your kitchen for many years to come, as I know it will in mine. Here's to happy cooking--and the best part, happy eating, y'all
Best dishes,
Paula Deen
Synopsis
The bestselling Food Network icon returns to her roots with the definitive guide to Southern cooking and hospitality.
Synopsis
In her first full-length recipe collection since
The Deen Family Cookbook, the Food Network icon returns to her roots with the definitive—and delicious—guide to Southern cooking and hospitality.
As a young wife, Paula Deen regularly turned to classic American cookbooks like Better Homes and Gardens and The Joy of Cooking for help negotiating her way around everything from making biscuits to roasting chickens and setting a table. Now, in the spirit of those well-loved tomes, Paula presents her own timeless and indispensable collection: Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.
It is the most comprehensive repertoire of Southern dishes you’ll ever find, and they are all done Paula’s way. Every one of these 325 recipes is fundamental to Southern eating, and 80 percent of them are new to this book. The book is structured like The Joy of Cooking and other bibles of the kitchen: from the beginning of the meal—hot and cold appetizers—to the end—cakes, cookies, and pie. It features 100 how-to illustrations throughout, showing how to peel a shrimp and how to make sweet potato balls without getting marshmallow all over your hands. Complete with sixteen pages of full-color photos, this must-have collection will make a warm, homey addition to any cook’s bookshelf.
