Southern Hospitality & Delectable Dishes. Published 2006. 31 recipes, 52 research notes, 36 pages. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Soft cover, saddle-stitched. ISBN 1-929384-06-8.
Stories about, and examples of, the proverbial Southern hospitality abound in this book by Patricia Mitchell. Many of the stories are plucked from the historic record, and proper endnotes are given. Some of the ofttimes funny stories are personal recollections. Old-timey recipes such as Aunt Sug's Nut Cookes and Strawberry Preserves Cooked in Sun, as well as newer dishes like Jennifer's Modern Macaroni and Cheese and Mrs. Freshour's Cornbread Salad are offered in this volume.
Probably even more fun, however, than the enjoyable recipes, are the “tales” — which are ideal to read aloud — perhaps when you have friends or family over in a warm display of hospitality, Southern or otherwise.
