Southern cooking (or cookin’, rather) is traditionally dripping with butter, grease and all other kinds of flavorful goodness. But Justin Fox Burks and his wife Amy Lawrence had a goal to change all that, keeping the rich flavors in tact but moving vegetables to center stage in their new cookbook, The Southern Vegetarian: 100 Down-Home Recipes for the Modern Table.
It doesn’t take a medical degree to understand that putting more veggies into your bodies will help you become more healthy. In fact, over the course of a few years, Justin and Amy lost a combined 100 pounds by refocusing their diets from their native Southern meat-focused-menu to one filled with vegetables, grains and fruit.
In The Southern Vegetarian, you’ll find 100 recipes, each with photos of the finished dish plus technique shots that are helpful for the home cook. The recipes are close to their hearts, in fact many are updated, healthier versions of food their families have been cooking for generations.
Here’s a taste of some of the recipes you’ll savor:
- Fried Green Tomato Po’ Boy
- Artichoke Hearts and Succotash over Smoked Cheddar Grits
- Nannie’s Blueberry Pie
In the Forward, Chef John Currence writes “The grand melting pot of the South is embraced as these recipes touch everything from traditional American to Latin to Indian to Asian and beyond, illustrating the magnificent tapestry that makes up the food of our corner of the country.”
You can find The Southern Vegetarian in both paperback and digital versions to have on your kitchen counter at all times. But we also have a chance for you to win a free copy too!
