    Why is shrimp and grits missing from this index?! The alternative recipe is here, but not the celebrated one served at Crook’s Corner for decades.

    The original. Update: The later, slightly larger version is also indexed (released during 2014-2015).

    This title now seems to be almost unknown. This is a real cookbook about the South and it's food history, not some TV thing.

Publishers Text

Southern cooking, the most interesting and complex regional cuisine in America, remains a mystery to many professional cooks and southerners. With a stellar collection of recipes, Neal reveals the background and subtleties of Southern foods. He uses imaginative new ways with old standards to make the recipes more accessible, but he never resorts to shortcuts or processed ingredients. He also shows how the meeting of Native American, Western European, and African cultures has created this cuisine.
