Old-Time Southern Cooking Kindle Edition

by Laurie Strickland (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
See all formats and editions

Capture the traditional flavors of authentic Southern cuisine with this cookbook featuring more than 125 original  pre-WWII recipes.

In the days before food processors and microwave ovens, Southern cooking was not just a feast of flavors, it was a craft of artisans. In Old-Time Southern Cooking, Laurie Strickland and Elizabeth Dunn have preserved more than 125 classics of the Southern dinner table, mixed with stories and techniques as told by the contributors.

Some of the beloved classics include Grits, Fried Ham with Red-Eye Gravy, Corn Bread, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Chicken and Dumplings. But one might not expect to see Wild Muscadine Jelly, Poke Salad, and Sweet Tater Pone. Grouped into four categories—breakfast, weekdays, Sunday dinner, and special occasions—these are authentic recipes just as they were prepared generations ago in homes throughout the South.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Passages from oral histories enliven this guide to home-style southern fare. Drawn to the traditions of bygone days, Strickland and Dunn acknowledge the importance of their many contributors by including reminiscences in the form of personal anecdotes and cooking tips. And rather than depending upon the usual cookbook categories (such as entr{‚}ees or desserts), the authors combine various dishes into chapters based upon mealtimes. Along with hush puppies and hominy grits are recipes for fried green tomatoes, hearty dishes featuring meat and fowl, and all sorts of sweets. Alice Joyce --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the Author

Laurie Strickland is a kindergarten teacher in Tyler, Texas. Born in Dallas, Laurie's first job was cooking in one of her family's restaurants. She loves bringing up her son, reading, gardening, and living in the country. She also has a passion for traveling and has spent two summers in South America.

Raised in Nacogdoches, Texas, Elizabeth Dunn has taught at the University of Texas at Tyler, the University of Metz, France, and is currently an adjunct associate professor at U.T.-Austin. An avid environmentalist, frequent traveler, and free-lance writer, Elizabeth has retained her interest in traditional Southern cooking because of its emphasis on fresh garden ingredients, a protein-rich breakfast, and eating according to what's in season. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars HANDS DOWN THE BEST COOKBOOK EVER!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014
I first bought this cookbook in 1999. I recently lost literally everything I owned due to some catastrophic events and this cookbook is one of the first things I am replacing. I had a huge collection of cookbooks but this one was always my "go to" for pretty much everything. I'm a Scots-Irish mountain woman (okay, hillbilly) from the hills of Tennessee and this is the food I grew up eating that my Mama, grandmothers (Mammy & Mamaw), and my great-grandmother (Granny) prepared. It has a huge selection of everyday foods from biscuits that are simply to die for to Sunday fried chicken with real dressing (none of that Yankee "stuffing" mess...yuck!), and even some good old-time favorites like tea cakes that taste just like Granny used to make. This is the real deal if you want just plain ol' country cooking. It includes some awesome pie and cake recipes too. It would make a great hope chest gift for your children who may have grown up on old-time cooking but have no idea how to actually cook.
