In the highly anticipated follow-up to her bestselling
Screen Doors & Sweet Tea, Martha Hall Foose shares recipes
and stories that are even closer to her home and heart. A Southerly Course delves deep into Mississippi Delta
flavors and foodways, where Martha finds inspiration in
local ingredients—from figs and sweet potatoes to crawfish
and venison. In her signature style, she pairs each recipe
with an anecdote or words of advice, her memorable tales
about each dish lingering long after the last bite has been
polished off. Martha’s beloved Southern cuisine is a fresh take on homey
favorites fiercely protected by the locals, including
Skillet Fried Corn, Sweet Pickle Braised Pork Shoulder, and
Blackberry Jelly Roll. Dishes such as Sweet-and-Sour Salsify
and Peanut Chicken, on the other hand, reflect the influence
other cuisines have had on Southern cooking. Martha’s
lifelong bond with Mississippi is most apparent when she
introduces her friends and family; she dedicates Burgundy
Duck to a fiery group of women duck hunters called the Swamp
Witches, while her cousin’s new wife inspires Korean-style
Grilled Green Onions. And in recalling her former neighbor,
the famed author Eudora Welty, she reveals the secret to a
perfect Custard Pie.
With more than 100 recipes and beautiful color photographs,
this book is a wonderful, personal look into the South that
Martha loves. Gather around her table in A Southerly Course
for unforgettable food and vivid stories, both hallmarks in
a rich Southern tradition.
