Virginia Willis’ best-selling culinary classic returns to audiences in this revised and updated edition of “Bon Appétit, Y’all” featuring new variations and commentary on the original recipes plus options using healthier ingredients. Over 200 heritage and new recipes blend seamlessly into this modern Southern cookbook.
The daughter and granddaughter of Southern cooks, Willis is also a classically trained French chef and award-winning writer. These contrasting influences come together as this modern Southern chef pays homage to her culinary roots.
Utilizing a simple-is-best philosophy, Willis uses good ingredients, concentrates on sound French technique, and allows the food to shine in a style she calls “refined Southern cuisine.” Accessible recipes are arranged by chapter into starters and nibbles; salads and slaws; eggs and dairy; main dishes with fowl, fish and other meats; sides; biscuits and breads; soups and stews; desserts; and sauces and preserves.
Alongside these recipes, readers will find well-written stories, a wealth of tips and techniques and the wisdom of a renowned chef authority in American regional cuisine.
