Pure Country Cooking: The Best of Man, That Stuff is Good!

What is Pure Country Cooking? It's the dishes Momma or Granny prepared for the family at every Sunday dinner after church...fried chicken, green beans, sweet potatoes, deviled eggs and a cold pitcher of sweet tea. Picture, if you will, the recipes handed down for generations and taught to young ladies who would learn and pass on this sacred skill to their children. There's Sister using great-Granny's chipped cup to measure flour for a cobbler or Aunt Dot's can she cut biscuits with for decades. Well, I'm not describing my family but I have lived the dream. I was born in Connecticut, moved to Tennessee in 1975 and my Momma hasn't cooked in years. Fortunately, I was blessed with good friends with wonderful Southern Mommas, Nannies and Grannies (and a few Paw Paws) who took me under their wing and taught me how to prepare the foods that are synonymous with the South. The ones your family will push away from the table with a smile on their face and say, "Man, That Stuff is Good!"
