Summary

This is a hassle-free, lighter take on Southern cooking that proves the notion less can so often be more. By reimagining beloved Southern classics and viewing them through a more health- and lifestyle-conscious lens, Lauren McDuffie’s Southern Lights: Easier, Lighter, and Better-for-You Recipes From the South explores ways to make Southern cooking more accessible without sacrificing flavor or quality. Setting traditionally heavy recipes to a decidedly more healthful tune and showing off some Southern fare that is already light to begin with (the heart of Southern cooking beats for fresh, seasonal produce), this cookbook will give you ways to enjoy your favorite Southern dishes more often. It is bursting with some seriously delicious Southern powerhouses—a true all-star lineup—for breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, snacks, dinners, holiday dishes, desserts, and more.

A “colorful, varied collection” of regional heirloom recipes that “may well be the definitive resource on the all-American pie” (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Before cooking shows and celebrity chefs there were church dinners, community bake sales, and county fairs—events for which regular women made their prized family recipes, especially for that homiest and most American of desserts, pie. In United States of Pie, Adrienne Kane invites you on a journey back in time as she scours the country for—and shares—those recipes: the pies that have come to define culinary traditions from the West Coast to the East Coast, from the Midwest to the South. They showcase the innovative spirit of American home cooks in the era before processed foods and flavorless, imported produce took over grocery shelves, and are tested and updated for contemporary palates with an emphasis on local, seasonal fruit and dairy products. With sweet illustrations, tips ranging from the best thickeners for fruit pies to why home bakers should embrace corn syrup, and insightful essays on pie-making traditions around the country, it’s more than a cookbook—it’s a must-have baking resource. 
 
“Culled from farmwife cookbooks, bakeshops, church booklets, and newspapers, the recipes are categorized by region, with chapters for the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West and all of their classics: shoefly, Maine blueberry, Key lime, and strawberry-rhubarb, to name a few. These are interspersed with Kane’s updated versions of unusual, exotic concoctions such as Chipmunk Pie (stuffed with an apple and nut filling), green tomato pie, and burnt sugar meringue pie.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“A charming recipe collection [that] includes the most thorough instructions we’ve seen yet on mastering pie dough.” —Matt Lee and Ted Lee, authors of the James Beard Foundation Cookbook of the Year The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook

Discover the culinary heritage of South Carolina’s famous port city with this guide to historic restaurants that have come and gone.   Once a sleepy city of taverns and coffeehouses, Charleston evolved into a culinary powerhouse of innovative chefs and restaurateurs. Jessica Surface, founder of Chow Down Charleston Food Tours, celebrates the city’s rich cultural history in Lost Restaurants of Charleston.   The origins of she-crab soup trace back through Everett’s Restaurant. The fine dining of Henry’s evolved from a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Desserts were flambéed from the pulpit of a deconsecrated church at Chapel Market Place, and Robert’s hosted Charleston’s famous singing chef. From blind tigers to James Beard Awards, Surface explores the stories and sites that give Charleston its unique flavor.

This Florida Book Awards Gold Medal-winner in the Cooking category celebrates the Sunshine State’s culinary heritage—from turtle soup to boiled peanuts. 
 
Though starting in one-story shacks in the piney woods of the Panhandle, Cracker cooking in Florida has evolved with our tastes and times and is now just as home in high-rise apartments along the glistening waterways. 
 
When supplies were limited and the workday arduous, black coffee with leftover cornbread might serve as breakfast. Today’s bounty and life’s relative ease bring mornings with lattes and biscotti, biscuits and sausage gravy. What’s on the plate has changed, but our heritage infuses who we are. As we follow the path laid out by gastronomic pioneers, this culinary quest, guided by sixth-generation Cracker Joy Sheffield Harris, will whet your appetite with recipes and sumptuous reflections. Pull up a chair and dig in.
