Yay! The Lee brother’s won two James Beard Awards (Cookbook of the Year, and Food of the What makes The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook so great are the personal stories, histories, and insights that come with each recipe. I grew up with these recipes, stories, and visits to some of the exact places mentioned in the cookbook, so I can attest that each recipe truly is Southern cooking – the way that real cooks from the South eat. There are a few modern twists to recipes, but they tell you up front about their reformulations.
This cookbook comes highly recommended by myself and the James Beard Foundation. If you want a cookbook on true Southern food, or are a collector and reader of cookbooks, the Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook is a must-have.Favorite foods included in the book: boiled peanuts, hush puppies, pimento cheese, pickled peaches, red rice, squash casserole, hash and rice, benne wafers, and sweet potato pie.

hey! it's fun to stumble across a blog about food and plants - two of my favorite things.
have you used the cookbook "the ethnic vegetarian" by angela shelf medearis? it has some interesting native and southern recipes, and draws on the ethnic roots of this country.
I've been reading your blog for a while now-I'm a southern (Georgia) transplant to Wilmington and love to get your take on both gardening and restaurants-
Nicely done!
shaun.marie - No, I've never seen that cookbook, but I'll keep my eye out for it.
funky monkey - Thanks for reading. I do know GA, or at least some of it. I spent a great deal of time in Atlanta and Athens, GA. This blog has also provided me with the opportunity to meet a Tennessee transplant living in Wilmington that I've become friends with. Perhaps, I'll see you around Wilmington, too.
