Mary's Literary Lunch: Home Cookin'

Okay. Here you are at the beach. Seafood is king—especially shrimp. Are you hungry? Want you cook? Maybe you just want to take some special recipes home with you. Or perhaps you would like to send or bring a really unusual gift home for that special friend or family member. I have just the answer! Try browsing through our extensive selection of southern cookbooks with that truly LOCAL flavor. The price range fits any budget and so does the style of cooking. You can find anything from tailgate parties to picnics; from luncheons to cocktail parties; from barbecue to fine dining; from elaborate to down home pass arounds.

Many of our local churches have collected recipes from their members and taken the time to publish them, along with anecdotes about the person, area, or recipe. There are some southern celebrities who have published as well, including Paula Deen, Pat Conroy, Bobaluie, and Lucy Buffett. The flavor ranges from Cajun to ‘white trash’ to Creole and everything in between. You can find a recipe for ‘scratch’ southern biscuits or marinated rib-eye steak. Makes your mouth water doesn’t it? Come on down and take a look through some of these offerings:

Bay Tables Calling All Cooks

Good Tidings! The Holy Grille

Crazy Sista Cooking The Barbecue Bible

Some Like It South Picnic

Paradise Ice or whatever shakes your tree.
