You don't have to be southern to cook southern.
From the New York Times food writers who defended lard and demystified gumbo comes a collection of exceptional southern recipes for everyday cooks. The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook tells the story of the brothers' culinary coming-of-age in Charleston—how they triumphed over their northern roots and learned to cook southern without a southern grandmother. Here are recipes for classics like Fried Chicken, Crab Cakes, and Pecan Pie, as well as little-known preparations such as St. Cecilia Punch, Pickled Peaches, and Shrimp Burgers. Others bear the hallmark of the brothers' resourceful cooking style—simple, sophisticated dishes like Blackened Potato Salad, Saigon Hoppin' John, and Buttermilk-Sweet Potato Pie that usher southern cooking into the twenty-first century without losing sight of its roots. With helpful sourcing and substitution tips, this is a practical and personal guide that will have readers cooking southern tonight, wherever they live. 32 pages of full-color photographs of the recipes; fifty b/w photographs from the Lee Bros.' travels throughout the South.

Summary: I love this cookbook
Comment: Whenever I feel homesick, the Lee Bros' cookbook is one of the first places I turn. Certainly not the definitive Southern cookbook, but it strikes a balance between modernity and tradition in a way that seems natural. The recipes I have tested so far have all been hits and, while labor intensive, are accessible enough for a novice like myself. I've considered buying an ice cream maker just to try the boiled peanut and sorghum swirl ice cream.

Summary: You Won't be Disappointed in this Cookbook
Comment: I have cooked many many recipes from this cookbook and have found the recipes to be wonderfully written. Matt and Ted Lee were gracious enough to come to my tiny town and speak for a charity luncheon. I prepared a meal for 250 from this cookbook. We served Boiled Peanuts, Chicken and Sweet Potato-Orange Dumplings, Succotash Salad, Pan Fried Grouper with a Granny Smith Apple and Green Tomato Pan Gravy over Lemon Grits, Butternut Squash Casserole, Corn Muffins with Sorghum Butter and Fig Preserve and Black Walnut Cake with a Hard Rum Sauce. Everything was FABULOUS! I cooked tons of other stuff from the cookbook while planning the menu. It was all wonderful! In fact, I'd buy the cookbook just for the blackeded potato salad...it's oh so yummy!
