TREASURED

DIXIE FAMILY

 RECIPES^©

The only cookbook of its kind anywhere!

Remember the smells and mouth-watering tastes of long-gone, down-home Southern cooking? This outstanding cookbook has more than 250 of those authentic Southern heirloom recipes contained within its 16 sections and 106 pages. Its goal is to have family and friends shower you with warmhearted praises when they taste what you've prepared. 

Those who know me well know I'm a graduate chef with a passion for Southern food. So much so, that I always researched and collected authentic Southern recipes. My collection grew to a point where I decided to write this cookbook and share the best of the best previously unknown Dixie recipes and classic Southern food favorites.

The authentic, mostly old Southern recipes contained in this cookbook came from many sources; including; handed down heirloom recipes from friends and contributors;
19th Century out-of-print cookbooks;  the Library of Congress; community and organization cookbooks and leading cooking magazines and websites. You'll find this informative cookbook will be a valuable source of cooking ideas to take you back to a time when life was simpler, food tasted better and 'Home Cookin' was only done at home.

To prove that the Southern cooking doesn't begin and end with the pigs, peaches and pecans, you'll find recipes for such well remembered handed down favorites as Crispy Fried Chicken, Fabulous Flaky Biscuits and Gravy, Apple Charlotte, Hopin' John, Flannel Cakes, Mint Julep,  Fried Bream, Sawmill Gravy, Lemon Jelly, Stuffed Possum, Sweet Potato Pecan Bread, Kentucky Burgoo, Son's Arisen Eggs, Honey Roasted Quail, Syllabub,  Sawdust Pie, Scrumptious Skillet Corn Bread, Plantation Soup, Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn.

To review this cookbook's Table Of Contents 

To take away cooking guesswork, I had to revise some of the old family “secret” heirloom recipes to correspond with today’s utensils, cooking techniques and available ingredients. Because of those required changes, any similarity to recipes in this book to any other recipe you know of is simply a coincidence.  

It is my hope than this cookbook in someway will help to preserve those brilliant recipes and exceed your expectations. Here's a one-of-a-kind cookbook that contains an outstanding collection of Treasured Dixie Family Recipes designed to make you an envied host or hostess. 

Finally, think of a recipe as a road map. It guides you to the goal, a dish or a finished meal. Along the way you might look around and try different ingredients and like it. Well, that's what cooking is all about.
