The Art of Southern Cuisine Cookbook

Many cultures have contributed to the art of Southern cooking. The Native Americans gave corn to the world, and the South made the most of cornbread recipes. That southern standard - okra - was introduced by slaves from West Africa. They also influence much of southern traditions, such as Carolina Boil and grits - all simple yet scrumptious dishes. Certain dishes, such as BBQ, shrimp and grits, and crawfish, as described in this The Art of Southern Food Cookbook, will always rightfully be associated with southern cuisine. As will fried chicken and the delicious sauces from the Carolinas. In addition, the south has a love of nuts and will use every opportunity to enjoy them. Southern cooking is in a class of its own, and the recipes in the Art of Southern Food Cookbook will help you introduce your friends and family to the soul of the South.
