Virginia Willis’s legion of fans love her knack for giving
classic French dishes a down-home Southern feel and
reimagining homey Southern favorites en Française. In
Basic to Brilliant, Y’all Virginia builds on her
signature style, offering 150 soul-satisfying recipes and
accompanying each with a new preparation technique, fresh
presentation style, or creative recipe variation that
transforms an already wonderful dish into an all-out show
stopper.
In Virginia’s hands, a cozy Kale
Omelet becomes sophisticated brunch fare when it’s baked
in a sourdough boule; rich Gruyere Flans elevate a
rustic red wine-infused Roasted Tomato Soup; and
Spiced Skirt Steak with Shallot Marmalade is enhanced
with just a few simple changes into a gorgeous roulade.
Peach Dijon-Crusted Pork Tenderloin goes from elegant
continental entrée to the pride of Dixie when it’s cradled
between Chive Cornmeal Griddle Cakes, and a country
dessert like Sweet Biscuits with Stewed Blackberries
is kicked up a notch when served topped with Blackberry
Fool.
Throughout Basic to Brilliant,
Y’all, Virginia paints a vivid portrait of growing up in
Louisiana and Georgia, spinning tales of close family and
friends—and unforgettable food—interwoven with vignettes
from her years living in and visiting France, drawing you in
with vibrant accounts of cooking and eating at La Varenne in
Burgundy.
Whether you choose the Basic or
the Brilliant approach, this bounty of Southern flavors
dressed up with time-honored French techniques delivers
meals that will keep you and your kin coming back for more.
