Summary

Including more than 170 tested recipes, this cookbook is a true reflection of Southern foodways and the people, regardless of residence or birthplace, who claim this food as their own. Traditional and adapted, fancy and unapologetically plain, these recipes are powerful expressions of a collective identity.
