Southern Cooking Techniques
Southern cooking employs a few techniques that are different than many other cooking styles. Southern Food is generally cooked longer than you may be use to. For example, green beans are cooked until very tender and a dark greenish brown. Very different from brightly colored canned beans (ugggggh). Many dishes are cooked until crunchy (fried okra, cornbread, fried chicken). And frying is the primary cooking method.

A word about Southern Recipes:
Southern recipes are difficult to write because many good Southern cooks use look, feel, taste and experience rather than a rigid recipe to perform their magic in the kitchen. My mom made wonderful biscuits and cornbread and never used a recipe. She just knew when it "looked right". The message here is, as you cook, be aware of the look, feel and texture of your combined ingredients. And taste, taste, taste as you cook. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment and modify recipes to suit your preference. With experience, in time, you will be cooking yummy dishes and creating your own recipes.

Authentic Southern Food
There are many sources for Southern recipes, but few are truly authentic down home Southern food. When you see a Southern recipe for cornbread that includes sugar...that ain't Southern! Southern Cooking is a style of cooking unlike any other. Southern Recipes utilize a lot of fried food, buttermilk and corn meal. Here's rule #1 for cooking Southern Food: Never put sugar in cornbread and always in iced tea!
With few exceptions, all the Southern recipes here came from my 93 year old mom, the greatest Southern cook ever. We invite you to browse our all our Southern Recipes, bookmark this page and return often.
