Think takeout is better than homemade comfort food?Anyone can order takeout food but making a dish from scratch has so much more meaning. That is what traditional Southern comfort food is all about – putting your heart and soul into a dish.

It’s a reflection of you. It’s about combining rich flavors with bold ingredients and real emotion.

Better still, it can be as unique as you, that’s why Southern comfort is beloved today. You can bring your cultural influences or go outside your comfort zone and choose flavors that you’d not normally use.

Good-tasting Southern comfort food reflects you and how you feel. You can enchant guests with fresh ingredients and generous portions that warm the heart.

I wrote this cookbook because I love Southern cooking. I love how surprisingly delicate Southern comfort food can be and how diverse it is.

I adore the cultural influences that inspire dishes because they can be so creative and yummy. It lets you try new dishes that can be healthy (if you want them to be) but also incredibly comforting.

With so many dishes to explore, you can enjoy some feel-good family favorites to liven up and make mealtimes great again. So, isn’t it time you grabbed an apron and tried out a few tasty dishes from the South?.
