This book will show you some of the secrets to southern/soul food cuisines. Soul food is basic down-home cooking with its roots in the rural south. My mother and I are so pleased to be able to share our family recipes with you. The book starts off with flavorful southern classics, like southern fried chicken, fried pork chops, smothered dishes, barbecue pork, sides like rice, potatoes, grits, collard greens, beans, baked macaroni and cheese, cabbage and ends with delicious desserts, like sweet potato pie and banana pudding. Enjoy!
