The American South is the region of the United States that lies south of the Mason-Dixie line, and ranges from Texas in the West, to the Atlantic Coast in the East. From the most part, the South was part of the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861 to 1865).

Southerners are known for both their hospitality and their cooking. Southern cooking offers a hearty and delicious choice of dishes (we have considered African-American cuisine, Cajun and Creole cuisine, and Soul Food cuisine separately).

Here are some popular Southern recipes and dishes:
  • Brunswick stew - A stew based on tomatoes, corn, lima beans, okra and other vegetables. In many traditional recipes, rabbit or squirrel meat are used, but nowadays beef, chicken and pork recipes are also common. Both Georgia (because of the town of Brunswick) and Virginia (because of Brunswick County), have been claimed as being the original source of the stew.

  • Burgoo - This is a stew from Kentucky. It is traditionally made from whatever meats and vegetables were available, and hence in the past often included meat from squirrel, opossum or game birds. Today it is uaully made with chicken, mutton or pork, and is eaten with cornbread (fried bread made from cornmeal) or corn muffins.

  • Chicken fried steak - A piece of beef steak coated with seasoned flour and then fried. It is a popular breakfast item in the South. The dish does not contain chicken, but gets its name because the method of preparation is similar to that used for making fried chicken.

  • Chit'lins - Hog small intestine, cleaned and fried.

  • Country Captain - A chicken curry stew made from chicken and onions, usually with raisins and almonds, and often with other ingredients added. The dish is particularly popular in Georgia and South Carolina.

  • Crab cakes - Patties made from crab meat, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. They are typically fried or broiled.

  • Fried chicken - Chicken coated in seasoned flour and then deep-fried.

  • Fried okra - Okra fried coated with seasoned flour and/or cornmeal, then fried. This dish can be eaten as a side dish or as a snack.

  • Grits - A thick maized-based porridge. It can be eaten with breakfast, or served with fish or meat at dinner.

  • Hoppin' John - Black-eyed peas or field peas, with rice, chopped onion, and bacon. Eating the dish on New Year's Day is supposed to bring a year filled with luck. On the following day (January 2nd), the dish is called "Skippin' Jenny", and eating is supposed to both signify frugality, and improve one's chances of future prosperity.

  • Liver mush - Liver mush is a food stuff made from pig liver with cornmeal, and flavored with pepper and sage. Slices are cut from a loaf of liver mash, and these are cooked in a skillet, or even added to omelette or pizza. Liver mush tends to be particularly popular in North Carolina.

  • Mashed potatoes

  • She-crab soup - This soup from South Carolina's coastal regions is made from milk or cream, with fish stock, Blue crab meat, and crab roe. It is sometimes flavored with a dash of sherry, onions, shallots, and nutmeg. Purée of boiled rice is also sometimes used to thicken the soup. This dish is considered the signature dish of Charleston, South Carolina, and gets its name from the female crab, the eggs (roe) of which are a key ingredient in the soup.
Here are some Southern dessert:
  • Key lime pie - A dessert made from key limes (small limes native to the Florida Keys), egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk in a pie crust. In the Florida Keys, the pie is made also using the egg whites which are used to make a meringue topping. Key lime pie is the official pie of the state of Florida.

    Key lime pie

  • Peanut brittle - A hard and brittle confection made from caramel or sugar-syrup containing peanuts.

  • Pecan pie - > A dessert pie containing a custard made of corn syrup and pecan nuts. Bourbon whiskey or chocolate are also sometimes added to the custard.

Product Description:
Country music star and bestselling cookbook author Trisha Yearwood is back with an encore of recipes that once again share her family traditions and warm home-grown cooking style.
 
In her debut cookbook, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen, Trisha proved that there’s much more to her than an award-winning country music career, as she welcomed us into her kitchen and served up a feast of flavorful meals and heartwarming personal anecdotes. Now, in Cooking for Family and Friends, Trisha opens her life and her kitchen once more with a trove of recipes from a lifetime of potlucks and colorful gatherings.
 
Trisha has that southern hospitality gene and she’s a big believer that cooking for someone else is an act of love. From breakfasts in bed to hearty casseroles and festive holiday meals, Trisha’s delicious recipes are dedicated to her loved ones, including her husband Garth Brooks (who’s her number one cooking fan and the contributor of a few knockout recipes of his own).
 
Trisha knows how good it feels to bring something to the table. It brings everyone closer together if they’ve had a hand in preparing a meal. These recipes all come with memories attached—of potlucks with good friends, church suppers, family fish fries, and beach picnics, Mother’s Day, and Christmas gatherings. Many are handed down from her mother, her aunts and cousins, or longtime friends, while others are her own contemporary improvisations on classic southern fare. Each one—whether a main dish, a tasty side, or a decadent dessert—comes with a heartwarming story from Trisha’s life that may remind you of some of your own favorite family foods, or inspire you to create new traditions.
 
You don’t have to be a southerner to enjoy Yearwood family specialties such as:
 
• Hot Corn Dip
• Cornbread Salad with French Dressing
• Baked Bean Casserole
• Jambalaya
• Pumpkin Roll
• Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake

Plus, Trisha (and her sister and mother) offer up loads of practical advice, on everything from easily icing a cake to cutting a slice of pie, time-saving tips; and ingredient substitutions. With full-color photographs taken at Trisha’s home, this soulful and sincere testament to a southern life well-lived will delight both country music fans and home cooks everywhere.

Now she dishes up a collection of more than 120 of her go-to recipes in a tribute to both home-grown cooking and family traditions.

Trisha believes a recipe always tastes better when it has a memory attached to it. Here, she teams up with her mother and sister to share their family’s best-loved recipes. This is the kind of classic comfort food you’ll want at the heart of your own family’s mealtime memories. Inside is a full menu of Southern fare with a contemporary twist. But you don’t have to be a Southerner to enjoy Yearwood family favorites such as:

Trisha’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
Gwen’s Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy
Stuffed Pork Chops
Breakfast Sausage Casserole
Blackberry Cobbler
Banana Pudding

Along with the recipes for inviting soups, textural salads, home-style family entrées, colorful side dishes, and irresistible desserts, Trisha shares everything from charming personal anecdotes to practical advice, time-saving tips, and creative ingredient substitutions to accommodate all tastes.

With full-color photographs taken in and around Trisha’s homes and a foreword by Garth Brooks, this soul-warming slice of Southern life will delight country music fans and home cooks alike. Best of all, this is un-pretentious food that is easy to put together, satisfies even big country appetites, and tastes like home. Trisha’s warm evocations of pre-paring food for loved ones will transport you back to your own childhood. These are recipes you’ll enjoy with your family for years to come.
