Gifted chef and storyteller Martha Hall Foose invites you into her kitchen to share recipes that bring alive the landscape, people, and traditions that make Southern cuisine an American favorite.
Born and raised in Mississippi, Foose cooks Southern food with a contemporary flair: Sweet Potato Soup is enhanced with coconut milk and curry powder; Blackberry Limeade gets a lift from a secret ingredient–cardamom; and her much-ballyhooed Sweet Tea Pie combines two great Southern staples–sweet tea and pie, of course–to make one phenomenal signature dessert. The more than 150 original recipes are not only full of flavor, but also rich with local color and characters.
As the executive chef of the Viking Cooking School, teaching thousands of home cooks each year, Foose crafts recipes that are the perfect combination of delicious, creative, and accessible. Filled with humorous and touching tales as well as useful information on ingredients, techniques, storage, shortcuts, variations, and substitutions, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea is a must-have for the American home cook–and a must-read for anyone who craves a return to what cooking is all about: comfort, company, and good eating.
screen doors and sweet tea
| Customer Rating: | | Apricot Rice Salad, Watermelon Salsa, new fashion Cabbage Rolls plus a few concotions with burbon that you haven't thought of yet, its all in here. The author treats the reader with a small story about how the recipie came about, that reads like a book. All in all, the cookbook is delightful and the recipies will be your new old favorites. I have family on the west coast that I'm buying another copy to give to them, the recipies are delicious and so are the stories of how they got concocted. The author trained in france but this is her honest to goodness southern recipies, with a twist that makes them new again. Delightful. |
just hated the book
| Customer Rating:  | I paid full price for this book, not usual for me. I just did not like this book. I didn't like the recipts, nor did I like the stories.
It was just not my cup of tea. (excuse the pun)
And, what is a pompano? yes, I get it is a fish but I don't recall being able to purchase it in the shoprite.
I just didn't like the book I guess. ( PS, I was raised in the south). |
Good to the last page
| Customer Rating: | As a southerner straddling the geographical Mason Dixon line, good southern food is not something found in excess around here (but close enough I can still drive too it) This cookbook is simply delicious. The recipes are accessible and just plain fantastic, her deviled eggs are simply the best ever and her strawberry cupcakes were the biggest hit at my local church picnic. The stories accompanying the recipes make you feel like Martha's giving you the recipe while sitting next to you and fanning herself on the back porch after a big supper.
I simply adore the cookbook and have given it to several friends as gifts and they love it just as much.
If there is ONE cookbook you must have in your southern cookbook library, this is it.
