Down-Home Wholesome

Food that's good for your body and soul. Savory chicken pot pie. Creamy macaroni and cheese. Strawberry shortcake and peach cobbler. These tempting foods are usually high in fat and cholesterol, but the author reinvents the cuisine without sacrificing a bit a taste. Sprinkled with a dash of history and a pinch of humor, and the author's reminiscences of three generations of cooks, this innovative cookbook highlights regional cuisines of the American South.
