The Bubba Gourmet

About the Book

Okay, these ain't your momma's collard greens or black eyed peas or potato salad. Inside these pages are a host of Southern recipes that will make you reconsider everything that you thought you knew about Southern cooking and Southern cuisine. In The Bubba Gourmet, classic Southern ingredients meet up with classical techniques and a whole travelogue of outside influences that take old family favorites to new heights. Whether you are hankering (Southern for craving) some Pinto beans with a little flair or some mouthwatering Oyster Stew with a Southern accent, you'll find it in the pages of The Bubba Gourmet along with plenty of other tasty and no-nonsense recipes. Along the way, you'll get a glimpse of what living (and eating) in the South is really like.
