More than 50 recipes and 24 full color photographs. A great book if you're looking for a special recipe to enter in your local county fair. Southern Traditions by Margaret Agnew Southerners are hosts by their very nature. I love to return to the area of my childhood home in the south. In those communities, the flow of daily life is ruled by grace and hospitality.
Southern hospitality is alive and well.
Southern Traditions is a seasonal cookbook by Margaret Agnew, a home economist with more than 15 years experience as a food editor and writer. The more than 200 recipes feature time-honored recipes you'd expect but also some new taste treats. The photography is marvelous and Agnew's love of her region shines through on every page. Most of those included are people just like you and me but a number of women of distinction have contributed. The recipes are alive with the history of the African-American experience and the words of wisdom apply to people of any heritage.
