| Note: This edition of The Fine Old Southern Cook Book has been updated to include Metric equivalents. People think of the South as the place where the sun shines brighter, the breezes are gentler, the birds sing sweeter and the flowers are fairer. We, who have edited this cook book, which we hope you will find helpful, think of the South as the hearthstone of superb cooking. Gathered here are more than 300 of the finest recipes from the Old South. All your life you have heard of the traditionally famous dishes of the South. No names appear so frequently on hotel menus as Dixie names. No cooking seems more famous or synonymous with quality and deliciousness than Southern cooking. You will find here, published for the first time in book form, we believe, the truly amazing recipe for Kentucky Burgoo, and the celebrated recipe for Pot Likker, which is a familiar dish in almost every part of the South. We believe this book to contain a remarkable cross-section of fine recipes and we hope you will find it a valuable aid in your culinary efforts. As you read through this book you will find many delicious dishes…many excellent combinations. You will find here the carefully-guarded secrets of real Southern cooking, palatable and tempting to the eye. You will find accurate, tried and tested recipes…each one a gastronomical delight. The natural, geographic and climatic advantages of the different sections of the sunny South have played an important part in Dixie cookery. The fertile fields, plentiful fruit trees and waterways have each contributed bountifully. Every part of the South is individual and distinctive in its cookery. The “Creole Dish” of New Orleans has nothing to do with racial origin but rather indicates the use of red and green peppers, onions and garlic. Oranges, grapefruit and avocados play an important part in Florida cookery. Maryland is famous for its fried chicken and its delicious seafood recipes. One thinks of Virginia, its hot breads and its sugar-cured hams. Kentucky is known for its corn “likker” and its flannel cakes. Only one thing is universally true: every corner of the South is famous for its fine cookery. |
