Experience mouthwatering Southern baking—from humble home kitchens to
innovative new Southern chefs. One of the world's richest culinary traditions
comes to life through this essential cookbook from bestselling author Anne
Byrn. With 200 recipes from 14 states and more than 150 photos, Baking in
the American South has the biscuits, cornbread, cakes, and rolls that will help
you bake like a Southerner, even if you aren't.
Recipes can tell you volumes if you pay attention—the crops raised, languages spoken,
family customs, old world flavors, and, often, religion. Did you know that where a mill
was located affected the recipes handed down from that area? Or that baking and
selling pound cakes directly impacted the Civil Rights Movement? These stories and
recipes, developed from good times and bad, have been collected and perfected over
years and are now accessible to us all. Anne's expertise in assessing, modernizing, and
developing well-written recipes makes this the definitive guide for bakers of all levels.
From-scratch, Southern classic recipes include:
1. Thomasville Cheese Biscuits
2. Ouita Michel's Sweet Potato Streusel Muffins
3. Nina Cain's Batty Cakes with Lacy Edges
4. The Best Lemon Meringue Pie
5. Georgia Gilmore's Pound Cake
This fascinating dive into the history of 14 Southern states—Texas, Florida, Kentucky,
and more—features stories and beautifully photographed recipes from pre-Civil War
times to today's Southern kitchens. It's about the places, the people, the products and
the culture of the moment that influenced what people baked. It's about African-
American women and the monumental contributions they have made to the art of
Southern baking, about home cooks and how they've kept traditions alive wherever
they settle by baking family recipes each year for holidays and celebrations, and about
the pastry chefs who have thoughtfully reimagined how the South bakes.
Experience the recipes and the stories behind them that showcase the substantial
contributions Southern baking has made to American baking at large. Food historians,
bakers, foodies, and cookbook collectors from every corner of the country will want this
cookbook in their collections.
