Southern My Way

By Gena Knox

After flipping through the pages of Southern My Way we were ready to head south. Gena Knox offers a fresh approach to Southern cooking and takes us on a journey through the farmlands of Georgia with stunning photographs of gardens, farms, and delicious food. Throughout the book she introduces local friends and farmers whose products contribute to her delectable recipes. Gena leaves no stone unturned, or more appropriately no peach unpicked, with recipes ranging from Molasses-Glazed Pork to Peach Bread Pudding. Gena takes a lighter approach with her Southern fare, saying "sticking with fresh ingredients and great seasoning, you can trim things down and still be blown away by the incredible rich tastes." $35, Amazon.com
