“Once you had real down-home Southern cooking, you’ll always crave it,” my Granny used to tell me. She was right—I’ve traveled all over the globe and no matter where I find myself, I people tell me their wonderful Southern food experiences. Southern cuisine is more than grits and fried chicken (yes, you’ll find those recipes here, too), but it’s also fresh seafood, vegetables straight from the garden and sauces that will make your mouth water.Southern food can be spicy or comforting, hearty or light, this collection of good eats is sure to delight. From pot roast to peanut butter and banana sandwiches (the King’s favorite), there’s a dish for even the most discriminating palate.
