Sara Foster's Southern Kitchen
Sara Foster's Southern Kitchen: member book reviews
southerncooker from Boomer, NC
The book is not only filled with delicious sounding southern recipes it also has gorgeous photos, as well as tips, hints, and stories from Sara. There is also a full page called Sidetracked in several places though out the book about a different southern restaurant or diner that is a tried and true place to eat a great southern favorite of one kind or another. Some of the states included are Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Orleans and of course NC since Sara lives in Durham. It's quiet thick with almost 400 pages. I'm enjoying reading and cooking and have so many more recipes marked to try.
Sara gives her own twist to southern cooking and I found it funny that she says while she thinks nothing of adding things like chipotle chilies, soy sauce, and fresh mozzarella to Southerner dishes her grandmother would say they have no business in southern food. Sara also says no matter how far she strays, southern cooking is her home base. I love the subtitle on this book: Soulful, Traditional, Seasonal. If you love southern food with a modern updated twist then this is a book you'll want to read and cook from.
