\r\n\r\n<\/svg><\/span>Our cuisine, with its grits and black-eyed peas, crab cakes, red rice, and endless variations on the staple foods of the region, casts a spell that, if you\u2019re lucky, gets passed down with snapping string beans at the table and chewing cane on the back porch.\u2019<\/p>\n Michael W. Twitty<\/cite>\n\n<\/div>

\nIn the introduction to this groundbreaking recipe collection, acclaimed historian Michael W. Twitty declares, \u2018No one state or area can give you the breadth of the Southern story or fully set the Southern table.\u2019 To answer this, Recipes from the American South journeys from the Louisiana Bayou to the Chesapeake Bay, showcasing more than 260 of the region\u2019s most beloved dishes.

Across more than 400 pages, Twitty explores the broad culinary sweep that Southern history and its many cultures represent. Recipes for breads and biscuits, mains and sides, stews, sauces, and sweets feature insightful headnotes and clear, step-by-step instructions. Home cooks will discover both iconic dishes and lesser-known specialties: Chicken and Dumplings, She-crab Soup, Red Eye Gravy, Benne Seed Wafers, Hummingbird Cake, and Mint Juleps appear alongside Shrimp Pilau, Chorizo Dirty Rice, Sumac Lemonade, and Cajun Pig\u2019s Ears Pastry.

A masterful storyteller, Twitty enriches his extensive recipe collection with lyrical, deeply researched essays that celebrate the region\u2019s \u201cmulticultural gumbo\u201d of influences from immigrants from across the globe. Vibrant food photography adds further color to the fascinating narrative.

Expansive, authoritative, and beautifully designed, Recipes from the American South is a classic cookbook in the making.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
