SOUTHERN HERITAGE FOUND IN FOOD
Close your eyes and picture all the foods your granny used to make. Plates of fried green tomatoes, heaps of greens, mountains of mashed potatoes, and a nice southern fried chicken. Now try not to think that your husband is bringing home a bucket of mass produced KFC. Where did the joy of family dinners go? When the family all was at the table, eating and sharing parts of their day. When the dinner was an event, like going to the movies, and not just something to get out of the way while we zip through our hurried lives. Why are we a drive-thru generation? Isnt being Southern all about comforting those we love, usually with dinners that would break average tables? Today we have local author Tina Samuels helping Southerners who have lost their way culinary-speaking, Yankees who have recently moved here and cant tell a cathead biscuit from a hockey puck, and those who just need to reminisce on how it used to be. A NonSoutherners Guide to Southern Food" not only shares some of familys most kept recipes, it offers glimpses into their own lives and how cooking affected them on a deeper level than just mere eating for sustenance. Mrs. Samuels has included old time favorites that are sure to please most any person. Contributors include regular people who cook southern by birth, southern by relocation, or southern in spirit.

A NonSoutherners Guide to Southern Food" (ISBN# 141374141X) is available from wherever you buy books, beginning Spring 2005.
