Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours
by Trisha Yearwood
from Clarkson Potter

Editorial Review:

She's adored by fans as one of country music's top stars, but among family and friends, Trisha Yearwood is best known for another talent: cooking.
Throughout her life-from her humble roots in Georgia to her triumphant recording years in Nashville and a fulfilling married life with husand Garth Brooks in Oklahoma-Trisha has always enjoyed feeding those she loves. Now she dishes up a collection of more than 120 of her go-to recipes in a tribute to both home-grown cooking and family traditions.
Trisha believes a recipe always tastes better when it has a memory attached to it. Here, she teams up with her mother and sister to share their family's best-loved recipes. This is the kind of classic comfort food you'll want at the heart of your own family's mealtime memories. Inside is a full menu of Southern fare with a contemporary twist. But you don't have to be a Southerner to enjoy Yearwood family favorites such as:
Trisha's Chicken Tortilla Soup
Gwen's Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy
Stuffed Pork Chops
Breakfast Sausage Casserole
Blackberry Cobbler
Banana Pudding
Along with the recipes for inviting soups, textural salads, home-style family entrées, colorful side dishes, and irresistible desserts, Trisha shares everything from charming personal anecdotes to practical advice, time-saving tips, and creative ingredient substitutions to accommodate all tastes.
With full-color photographs taken in and around Trisha's homes and a foreword by Garth Brooks, this soul-warming slice of Southern life will delight country music fans and home cooks alike. Best of all, this is un-pretentious food that is easy to put together, satisfies even big country appetites, and tastes like home. Trisha's warm evocations of pre-paring food for loved ones will transport you back to your own childhood. These are recipes you'll enjoy with your family for years to come.

• Wonderful cookbook
  This is a great cookbook. The recipes are easy and everything I've tried has been very good. I'll give one as a gift.

• LOVE THIS COOKBOOK
  I love this cookbook. It is straight from the southern states and is easy to read and something I will use a lot.

• southern down home cooking at its best!
  I thought this was a fun cookbook to read. Loved the little blurbs and intros for each one with personal notes from her family. That is what great family recipes are, they arent just the bowl or plate of food, they are a living history of a family passed from one generation to another. I was so surprised to find my stepmom Millie's (from Georgia)exact Broccoli Salad recipe in this book. She passed that recipe to me 10 years ago, and we make it every holiday in my home.
  Back to the book, if you love... more info

• Awesome cookbook!
