Southern Snacks

Magness embraces the southern approach to snacking: many of the recipes in her book were inspired by community cookbooks, home cooks, and chefs who put new twists on southern flavors. Local ingredients and the diversity of regionally distinct southern cuisine are highlighted, while contemporary touches are added to make the recipes perfect for any cookout, party, carry-out or even funerals. Magness includes personal stories and lore from her family in the sidebars.
