With a title like Southern Born and Bread, you may have opened this cookbook expecting to find classic Southern recipes such as Southern Fried Chicken and Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. You won't be disappointed, those recipes along with many other traditionally Southern dishes are here. But today's Southern born and bred cookbook has progressed far beyond the traditional menus. The vast cornucopia of ethnic, exotic, and regional cuisines have become so accessible to us all, that borders are easily crossed and the most eclectic menus emerge. We're using more herbs, spices, garlic, lemon and vinegar for colorful dishes with clean clear taste. But true to our Southern roots, we've kept some of our mother's and grandmother's recipes exactly the same. The result is the best of down-home cooking mixed with our new contemporary favorites.
