--------------
So much about blogging about our southern recipes is about memories associated with the great cooks who came before us, but let's face it. Not everybody had the privilege of standing on a step stool in their grandmother's kitchen. Some of us may even have had mothers who were full time career women with little time for home cooking, or who may not have even liked to cook. Enter Southern Living's brand new book, Home Cooking Basics: A complete illustrated guide to Southern cooking - good food made simple.
Touted as a Southern style Joy of Cooking, this illustrated Southern cooking bible, shows, step-by-step, how to make some of the greatest Southern dishes. It’s approachable, comprehensive, and thoroughly covers many cooking techniques, going beyond-the-basics, plus for the more seasoned cooks out there, it comes with more than 200 reliable Southern recipes, all thoroughly tested by Southern Living.
Just in time for holiday gift-giving this cooking bible starts from the beginning with a chapter titled "The Setup," outlining the tools and equipment any cook should have that will help to make cooking more of a joyful experience, rather than a chore. This chapter covers everything from cookware, to bakeware, to knives, and small appliances, table and even barware for entertaining.
From there the book moves into "The Ingredients" chapter with tips on purchasing, using and storing things like spices, sugars, salts, vinegars, fats and oils, rice and grains, corn and corn products, nuts and seeds, beans, cheeses, herbs, greens, and a wide variety of both warm and cool season vegetables and fruit, as well as fish, poultry and meats.
Once you have the equipment you need and you've learned how to keep a well-stocked pantry, "The Prep" chapter carries you through a rich, step-by-step compendium of fundamental techniques on how to prepare those ingredients. Beginning with steps on how to master basic food cuts, to other essentials from how to cut up a whole chicken, seed a cucumber, beat egg whites, prepare a mango, how to grind meat, and much more.
The next chapter covers "The Methods" of Southern cooking, where you'll find sub-chapters and the beginning of step by step recipes, showing you everything from how to make and assemble typical no cook recipes to how to bake, broil, braise fry, grill, roast saute, and steam foods. Each method of cooking provides both how-to steps, along with several recipes using that specific method. You'll learn things like how to master frying and then be able to apply the skill to recipes that are included, like Mama's Fried Chicken or Classic Fried Catfish.
You'll learn things like how to master frying and then be able to apply the skill to recipes that are included, like Mama's Fried Chicken.
Following that is "The Recipes" chapter. Organized by categories from Appetizers & Beverages, Breakfast & Brunch, Breads, Sandwiches & Soups, Meats & Poultry, Fish & Shellfish, Side Dishes, Desserts and Sauces & Condiments, you'll find colorful photography and plenty of recipes from the Southern Living archives, over 375 recipes in all!
You'll find recipes for these Classic Fried Catfish fillets
Avocado Fruit Salad made with oranges, grapefruit, cantaloupe and tropical mixed fruit
Hot Chile Pepper Vinegar Sauce
Herb and Potato Chip Crusted Beef Tenderloin
Stuffed Rosemary Chicken
Lemonade Iced Tea
Easy Orange Rolls in Breads - just to name a few!
Peppered throughout the book, there are sidebar "fix it" blocks giving some solutions to typical cooking problems that are sometimes associated with certain recipes or methods, along with "kitchen secrets" and "fake it" helpful tips, tricks and substitutes. In the back, you'll find a list of menus for all occasions, handy substitutions, charts for high altitude adjustments, a fresh produce & herb primer, arranged by season and a metric equivalent chart. Some Southern foodlore is also included, covering the history behind some of our favorite classics, like New Year's Day Hoppin' John and the origins of Southern food traditions like a Pig Pickin'. Two indexes are included, one by subject matter the other, a recipe index.
Home Cooking Basics truly is cooking demystified and I just can't say enough about this book! If you've never really been comfortable with your kitchen skills, this book will help to transform you from novice to pro in no time and with beautiful photography throughout, there is plenty of eye candy for those of you who are highly visual cooks. With the holidays coming up, it is truly the perfect gift for that newly married couple, recent college graduate, or that family member or friend who really wants to learn more about cooking, but doesn't know where to start.
Include this cookbook with a basket of shelf stable ingredients from one of the recipes and a few of the tools from the chapter on set up, or a treasured appliance such as a coveted stand mixer, and you're got a gift that is sure to light up their eyes.
Southern Living Home Cooking Basics is available right now at a retailer near you, or can also be purchased online from several sources, including Amazon, for a discounted price.

My thoughts on this post:
ReplyDelete- Great rundown.
- Kind of a shame that times are sort of changing where not as many little girls wil have memories of cooking with the moms (and grandmothers). I guess the only thing that's constant is change.
- The fried catfish dish looks awesome. That's a fantastic classic. Can't have enough lemons with fried catfish.
- The avocado fruit salad seems like a fun appetizer that I'll probably try making soon.
wow looks like a great cookbook! I'd love to try out some of those recipes!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have that cookbook! Looks perfect for an old bachelor like myself.

I love the quote below about being from the south! I am certainly one lucky gal to live in Texas! Southern Living was one of my favorite magazines when I was growing up. I loved to try some of the more decadent cakes. Sadly enough, they never looked like the magazine picture.:(

Southern cooking, nothing better!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this cook book and today's my birthday so it would be a wonderful birthday present. :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I did not care anything about cooking while my Southern grandmother was able to teach me anything about it. I have learned TONS of valuable info from your website, but I know there is still a lot for me to learn!
ReplyDeleteAfter so many years of working and cooking fast meals, I have almost forgotten what I learned from my Mother, Grandmother and Aunts from Georgia. Would be great to have as a refresher.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Mary Elolen

DeleteI have grandchildren that I want to teach to cook - SOUTHERN!!! Hopefully I can instill in them courage to stretch themselves in all areas and NOT sit in front of video games all day. I enjoy reading cookbooks as much as trying new recipes and I hope to encourage their reading in this way too. Thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a copy of this book as I did have a work outside of the home Mom who was from the North but I grew up in Texas and love SOUTHERN COOKING!!! Would like to learn all the basics and I love your site and try to cook something from it at least once a week!! Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeletewow i love this!!! great giveaway. shannon d
ReplyDeleteI have five grandchildren, none of whom ever knew my Mother. Cooking is the only way that I can connect them to the most influential and wonderful woman in my life. I know a lot of recipes in this great book are similar to my Mom's who grew up in South Carolina. I would love to have a copy to share with my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to Southern Living Magazine and have several of their cookbooks. Great books with down to earth, simple recipes.
ReplyDeleteI would love this cookbook. I find myself on the website every day looking for recipes to serve my family. I love the site and I know that the cookbook would be a blessing to me. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to add this cookbook to my collection. It looks like it will be so helpful when you have a question and are stuck, it's 2 a.m. and no one to call for help.

Southern Living and Deep South have provided me with some great dishes. I like that they are normally ingredients very easy to find and simple directions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSara F. here - you'll know me from facebook, most likely. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this cookbook! My mother and grandmother were fabulous cooks but I didn't pick up a lot of things from them. Thanks for this giveaway, Mary!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading (and trying!) your recipes. I would also love to win this cookbook. You and Southern Cooking Rock!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to give it a try! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have my mom's copy of the Joy of Cooking and as much as I love it, I love the idea of the same kind of cookbook but with a Southern twist. Where else could you learn how to make Hot Pepper Vinegar Sauce? I learned from my mother, but as another comment said, very few people are passing down the art of cooking. I also love the chapter on choosing ingredients. I always feel so inept!
ReplyDeleteSouthern Living is such an amazing magazine, it exemplifies the lifestyle of southerners. I have tons of their magazines that I periodically go through and two of their best of cookbooks. This one looks to be among the best! Thank you so much for thinking of us, your fans!
ReplyDeleteThis cookbook looks appealing to.the eye. I love reading new cookbooks and trying out all the recipes. Would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteWow, this book looks amazing! My mom didn't do real home cooking growing up so I had to learn how to cook on my own. I'm still learning things, especially about southern cooking. My granny, born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, has been cooking since she was 3 and still cooks for everyone so I feel like cooking southern cuisine is part of my heritage, getting back to my roots. I am hoping to win a copy of this book!
ReplyDelete-Kara P.
What a wonderful idea, Mary! You are such a sweet, giving person.

ReplyDeleteI connected my comment w the wrong email. Here we go: Sunny H. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Southern Cooking, Deep South Dish and Paula Deen. I'm a horrible cook without intruction manuals so I try to get my hands on any book I can, especially those involving Southern Foods and Cooking--A taste of home in a baren wasteland. I grew up in the south and I miss it. So I bring "a taste of home" where ever I am. Keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteSouthern cooking is some of the best cooking in the world. Would love to win this book!!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
After almost 20 years of cooking for myself and my family, its still amazing to find new "short cuts" and cooking tips.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved to cook I didn't learn to cook with southern hospitality until I married at the age of 17. My mother-in-law taught me everything a southern lady needed to know to love and care for family and friends. I'll forever be grateful to her love and teaching . . . I've passed them on to my girls as will they to theirs.

ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso I was looking at some of the Christmas special - Southern Living books. But I can't take a look inside them on any of the sites. I was wondering if you had looked at them all & could give me an opinion on which one is the best (I can only afford 1)
ReplyDeleteThe options are.
1. the big book of Xmas - cooking, decorating, entertaining, giving
2. Southern Living Big Book of Christmas Baking
3. Southern Living Christmas Cookbook: All-New Ultimate Holiday Entertaining Guide
4. Christmas in the Kitchen: The Ultimate Guide to Cooking for the Holidays
5. Southern Living Cooking for Christmas: Favorite Holiday Recipes to Share with Family and Friends
6. Christmas with Southern Living 2012: Savor * Entertain * Decorate * Share
7. Christmas with Southern Living 2011: Savor * Entertain * Decorate * Share
8. Christmas with Southern Living 2010: Great Recipes * Easy Entertaining * Festive Decorations * Gift Ideas
There are about 25 options and I've just narrowed it down to these 8 on the basic information provided. But if you feel any other is a better option, please let me know.
I'll understand if you can't really choose for me, but any information/insight you can provide would be very welcome.
From your description, it sounds like I could "eat this book up"! Thanks for the great review!
ReplyDeleteLinda R

Oh, my! I think I might need this cookbook! As a mother of two step angels, six of my own angels and a fresh grandangel, I spend most of my time in the kitchen. There's always a stool or crate pulled up for someone to help. We could have so much fun with this and it could help me remember to teach my kids and grandkid little things that have become instinctual to me.
ReplyDeleteI m always looking for a good cookbook.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would have a lot of ideas for me to make for my family.

That sounds like an instant classic! Probably because the content itself really already is classic, handed down over generations.
