A Lifetime of Secret Recipes · 500 Southern Recipes From a Mother's Kitchen

Every year our family would grow this large garden behind our home. A 50-by-30 yard garden seems immense when you are a kid. By the time it hit the kitchen table, it was “ummhh awnn (using a country style Mayberry, USA – Andy Griffith dialect). “This is the best I ever put in my mouth!” After several years of that repetition, my sister and I would just look at each other and bust into a gut-wrenching laugh.

All those fine, home-grown ingredients are what went into my mother’s cooking to help it become so infamous. And those same homemade southern recipes are being passed down to you today.
