Southern Heirloom Cooking: 200 Treasured Feel-Good Recipes – eBook

Everyone who knew Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knew that she was a supreme cook, the steward of the McQueen family recipes, but she didn't measure when she cooked or write things down. Not wanting her recipes to be lost, her brother Horace started pestering her about writing down how she made her many dishes.

So the two got busy recording their treasured family recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes includes their best ones. "This is food you will absolutely enjoy," said Horace. "Traditional, full of marvelous flavor, 'enhanced' old-timeys."

Norma Jean and Horace put together the full line-up: crawfish bisque, poblano cream soup, wilted spinach salad, smothered pork ribs, zesty broasted chicken, baked catfish, cajun rice jambalaya, stuffed cornbread, five-flavor pound cake, margarita pie, and many more.
