My two favourite Southern cookbooks are by James Villas (The Glory of Southern Cooking) and Lena Richard's New Orleans Kitchen. Should you pull my name out, please donate a book to a charity you think will benefit. (Can't have you paying UK postage!)
I have a growing collection of southern themed baking books, love everything by Cheryl Day!! Also Anne Byrn’s book is such a treasure, I love all the historical baking books she’s written. This book seems like a great new tradition for ATK in how they do books!
It’s an oldie, but a goodie, the Sweet Potato Queens’ Big Ass Cookbook (and financial planner) from Jill Conner Browne. I also love everything from Vivian Howard.
This new style of ATK cookbooks makes me very happy. Even though I live in the semi south, I don’t really have a lot of southern cookbooks, but I have had this particular book for years and years and years. It’s a really funny take on the south of course.
I’m from the Midwest originally and moved to the South as an adult, first to Georgia and now in North Carolina. Vivian Howard first inspired me to appreciate and experiment with Southern food traditions. Her TV show A Chef’s Life made me a fan, and subsequently I met her in person - she was just as real and delightful as she seemed on TV.
Lisa Fain is the Southern cook whose recipes I use most often these days. Moving away after 29 years in Texas has meant learning to make lots of things for myself. I’ve also been working my way through The Biscuit Head Cookbook, which is my favorite restaurant in my new locale.
I am old, but I lived in TN when I was not (1979-1980)... LOL. But being from Boston, the biscuits just /blew me away/! And I still swear by Paula Deen's recipe I scribbed from a library cook book in 1982. My northern family (I returned to New England a yr later, but those biscuits haunted me :>) enjoy her buttermilk biscuit recipe. But some days I make the other non-buttermilk to enjoy as well.
Part of my education was in NC and southern cooking was a revelation. Mildred Council of Mama Dip’s in Chapel Hill taught us all about proper fried chicken, meat and three veg, stewed collards, and the best biscuits. Would love to reconnect with the region!
So hard to pick a favorite Southern Cookbook.Maybe Hoppin' John's Low Country Cooking by Joan Martine Taylor. It is one I refer to often.

My mom is from Georgia, and when I was younger, she made the best biscuits. Looking forward to checking this cookbook out!

I'd love a copy of this book! I'm not from the south, but I love biscuits and gravy.
Cheryl Day. Edna Lewis. Emily R. Nunn. Vivian Howard. I can’t choose just one!
I'v e found inspiration from Jennifer Lapidus and her amazing book "Southern Ground"
I'll go with the Cafe Cook Book, by Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers. They're from the [other] South: South London.
