<p>Mix French, Spanish, Creole, Cajun, African, Indian, English, Cuban, Mexican, and Jewish influences. Add a full array of fresh southern produce and flavorful seasonings - onions, celery, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes, cumin, horseradish, chili powder, mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, and file powder. The result? American's only true native cuisine, southern cooking. In this beautifully illustrated cookbook, Jeanne Voltz explores the cuisine of the South, with its international heritage, its rich flavors, and its distinctive style. Geared to the experienced cook as well as to the beginner, the recipes range from simple, east-to-prepare staples such as corn bread, greens of all sorts, black-eyed peas, and the world-renowned Southern Fried Chicken to the more elaborate Creole dishes of Louisiana, New Orleans Court Bouillon and Daube with Spaghetti, for example. Over 400 authentic southern family recipes, handed down from generation to generation - and modernized for today's kitchens and larders - make "the flavor of the South" accessible to all. Jeanne A. Voltz was food editor of Woman's Day Magazine. Before moving to New York, she was food editor of the Los Angeles Times and that served in the same capacity for the Miami Herald. Born near Birmingham, Alabama, of a southern family proud of its generations-old culinary skills, Ms. Voltz has lived throughout the South and maintains close ties with her home region. She is one of the founding members of the Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA), an institute of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi.</p>
