Country music star and bestselling cookbook author
Trisha Yearwood is back with an encore of recipes that once
again share her family traditions and warm home-grown
cooking style. In her debut cookbook,
Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen, Trisha proved
that there’s much more to her than an award-winning country
music career, as she welcomed us into her kitchen and served
up a feast of flavorful meals and heartwarming personal
anecdotes. Now, in
Cooking for Family and Friends,
Trisha opens her life and her kitchen once more with a trove
of recipes from a lifetime of potlucks and colorful
gatherings.
Trisha has that southern
hospitality gene and she’s a big believer that cooking for
someone else is an act of love. From breakfasts in bed to
hearty casseroles and festive holiday meals, Trisha’s
delicious recipes are dedicated to her loved ones, including
her husband Garth Brooks (who’s her number one cooking fan
and the contributor of a few knockout recipes of his
own).
Trisha knows how good it feels to bring
something to the table. It brings everyone closer together
if they’ve had a hand in preparing a meal. These recipes all
come with memories attached—of potlucks with good friends,
church suppers, family fish fries, and beach picnics,
Mother’s Day, and Christmas gatherings. Many are handed down
from her mother, her aunts and cousins, or longtime friends,
while others are her own contemporary improvisations on
classic southern fare. Each one—whether a main dish, a tasty
side, or a decadent dessert—comes with a heartwarming story
from Trisha’s life that may remind you of some of your own
favorite family foods, or inspire you to create new
traditions.
You don’t have to be a southerner
to enjoy Yearwood family specialties such as:
•
Hot Corn Dip
• Cornbread Salad with French Dressing
•
Baked Bean Casserole
• Jambalaya
• Pumpkin Roll
•
Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake
Plus, Trisha (and
her sister and mother) offer up loads of practical advice,
on everything from easily icing a cake to cutting a slice of
pie, time-saving tips; and ingredient substitutions. With
full-color photographs taken at Trisha’s home, this soulful
and sincere testament to a southern life well-lived will
delight both country music fans and home cooks everywhere.
TRISHA YEARWOOD is a three-time Grammy-award
winning country music star and the author of the bestselling
cookbook
Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma
Kitchen. She is married to megastar Garth Brooks.
