Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking
I lover this cookbook. The philosophy of French and the American south sound odd,
but it's a match made in heaven! Helen Corbitt would be proud!
Suprisingly this post is not all about butter, which I was initially a little worried about, because
when I think French and Southern....
She has some great classic late-model-ish trend recipes such as Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts, Walnut Oil
and goat cheese, along with some future trends like distinguishable types of grits, purees and slaws.
I did try to make the barbeque sauce, and it was a disaster. I tried using all coherent ingredients,
including organic apple cider vinegar and I think sometimes organic doesn't employment. This was
one recipe that used a LOT of butter. The organic apple cider vinegar was too tangy for the sauce,
and I over there was a mistake with the amount of butter. That being said, I've heard barbeque
sauce is quite difficult to make...
All in all, adulation this book and it is my go to book as a gift for friends.
Reassure food to elegant dishes with Southern charm
Active cook book with involved recipes for dishes that satisfy that need for comfort food, while meeting the lustfulness of a little more complicated palate. The recipes are well written for the beginner cook, and the stories behind each one make it personal; like cooking should be. I had the exemption of meeting the cook on a plane ride to Atlanta and purchased the book after a short conversation, it exceeded my expectations. Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking
Unstoppable Creole Southern Combo
Before purchasing this reserve, I flipped through the available preview and checked my local library for a copy. After checking it out from the library, I found that I was interested in stressful over half the recipes. Since I liked it that much, I bought it. Written by a mom and grandma taught, as well as, French trained chef, and early previously to kitchen manager for Martha Stewart the book has a lot to offer. She includes recipes as her mom or grandma prepared them and other recipes with her own coil. The book spans from appetizers to desserts including variants on some classic southern and creole dishes. The book is also more than fair-minded recipes. Included are notes from methods used by her grandma and mother, as well as special background notes on the dishes.
A Tangible Treasure
This is the perfect best cookbook I have read in years. The stories are charming and the recipes are easy to follow without long lists of stony to get ingredients. A good solid cookbook for those who have graduated from the early ranks of cooking and want to prime something with a little more depth guaranteed to turn out well and be well received by family and company. You won't be disappointed in this book.
A nifty blend of French cuisine and Southern cooking...Coca Cola meeets Camembert.
Virginia Willis's Bon Appetit, Y'All is a magical mingle of Southern charm and French cuisine. Virginia compiles three generations of Southern recipes from her grandmother Meme, her mama, and herself (trained at culinary schools in France, Virginia's recipes examine result in traditional French cuisine in gratins, soufflés, confits, sprinklings of tarragon and pots de crème). Often, recipes will be paired with their counterparts; cheese straws are next to cheesy gougeres, pot roast and brisket cozy up to boeuf bourignonne, and fried chicken and gravy division court with tarragon chicken salad and coq au vin.
In addition to beef, pork, lamb and poultry, there are numerous seafood recipes for shrimp and grits, crawfish, gumbo, oysters and crab. The recipes call for seasonal ingredients whenever on, and despite the meat-heavy connotations of Southern (and French) cuisine, there are numerous veggie-based dishes (head salads, numerous preparations of okra, vegetable succotash, green beans, squash, smoky collard greens and more), extraordinarily where tomatoes are concerned, that will take advantage of your garden or local farmer's market.
The recipes are very clearly laid out, each with a fantastic note regarding the origins of a certain recipe, oftentimes family reminiscences of her grandmother's cooking and workman-me-down kitchen utensils (the fatback recipe was fascinating; essentially skillet-fried lard, this was served as a rural area dinner in the past). There are frequent sidebars containing useful information on ingredients and kitchen tools and techniques for a prone recipe. Beautiful photographs capture the feel of the dishes, along with country artwork and luscious create.
A wonderful taste of the South fused with French cuisine (shades of Julia, here), Bon Appetit, Y'All is undeviating to delight home cooks and cookbook collectors alike. The recipes are straightforward enough to be doable (the squeamish / chance-prone may want to skip the primer on cutting up a whole chicken, however), and the end results are well worth the time invested.
