Sara Foster’s love of Southern fare began in her Granny
Foster’s Tennessee kitchen. There, the combination of
down-home comfort, fresh-from-the-farm ingredients, and
dedicated preparation hooked her for life. Now the
award-winning cookbook author and restaurateur serves up
nearly two hundred contemporary interpretations of classic
dishes—Shrimp Jambalaya, Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork Butt,
Cheesy Grits Casserole; refreshing drinks, including Mint
Juleps and Sweet Tea; and such satisfying breakfasts as
Country Ham and Hominy Hash. And a table wouldn’t be
Southern without the sides—Skillet-Fried Corn, Creamy Potato
Salad, and Arugula Pesto Snap Beans. Be sure, too, to save
room for Molasses-Bourbon Pecan Pie and Freestyle Lemon
Blackberry Tart.
From revealing the secret to fluffy
buttermilk biscuits to giving us ideas for swapping out
ingredients to accommodate any season, from providing tips
for frying up chicken like a true Southerner to detailing
barbecue fundamentals that put you on par with any
pitmaster, Foster’s helpful sidebars ensure that your dishes
will turn out perfect every time. You’ll also get expert
tips on the essential equipment (cast-iron skillets,
griddles, casserole dishes) and the ingredients no Southern
pantry should be without (from stone-ground grits to
Carolina Gold rice). As a bonus, Foster offers her
“Sidetracked” feature, profiles of tried-and-true roadtrip
destinations throughout the South where you can find the
best fried catfish, barbecued brisket, big breakfast plates,
and more. And finally, Foster’s lessons in pickling and
canning guarantee that you can enjoy your favorite flavors
all year round.
With its handy list of resources and
Southern pantry essentials, and entertaining stories,
Sara Foster’s Southern Kitchen is an all-inclusive
collection of Southern cooking in which simple feasts meet
artisanal ingredients, traditional tastes meet modern
methods, and fantastic flavors make every bite a succulent
mouthful of Southern comfort.
