Simply put, there are some recipes every cook worth their salt (and sugar) should have in their repertoire. For Southerners, it's like learning the alphabet, from A (ambrosia salad) to Z (zesty lemon pie). Including cheesy grits, fried chicken, Hoppin' John, and banana pudding pie, the more than 450 recipes in this book fall into that category. The Essential Southern Living Cookbook is a roundup of our favorite recipes for every kind of occasion. When time's short, stir up Snappy Cajun Shrimp or toss together Dixie Chicken Salad with Grapes, Honey, Almonds and Broccoli. If a celebratory feast is in order, indulge in Prime Rib with Herbes de Provence Crust and Red Wine Sauce, paired with Caramelized Onion Mashed Potato Bake and Green Bean Casserole with Fried Leeks. From the legendary to the iconic to some unexpected delights, the recipes in The Essential Southern Living Cookbook will be ones you turn to again and again.
