Southern Plate Cookbook Update!
This sign was sent to be yesterday by Andrew Malcolm to congratulate me on finishing the book. It was made online but BOY did it make my day with a round of giggles!
This morning I turned in the manuscript for the Southern Plate Cookbook which is being published by Harper Studios, a division of Harper Collins. The book is a combination of stories, classic Southern recipes, and some of the most gorgeous photos of Southern food I’ve ever seen. I have worked with an amazing team in putting this book together and I am just about to burst with excitement because I want you to see it so badly!
This is YOUR Cookbook, put together by using your input on what you wanted to see, what recipes you cherished most, and what recipes have been lost that you want most to reclaim for your family. I did include some of the most popular ones on Southern Plate but also made sure to add several exclusive good old fashioned recipes as well – the ones I’ve been asked for the most since starting Southern Plate. I feel just like a child whose colored you a picture and can’t wait for you to get home so I can present it to you! Thank you SO MUCH for giving me this opportunity and for helping me to write this book.
It will be available for pre-order this summer and will be in all major bookstores by the fall. I have one more wish, to make the dream come true for me, I’d sure love to get to meet you! I hope to see you at a book signing once it’s out. I’ll post my schedule as soon as it’s finalized. If you’re a member of the Southern Plate Family, I owe you a hug!
*Note: My self published cookbook is no longer available. Thank you to everyone who purchased it and everyone who has been kind enough to ask if there are any more. I sure do appreciate it and feel confident that you’ll enjoy my new book even more!
I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions for where book signings should be held in the comments below!
Gratefully,
Christy 🙂

one has learned for oneself.

Congratulations! Please don’t forget those of us who are misplaced in the midwest (Cleveland) and northeast. You bring a piece of home back to us.
I vote for Pensacola, FL! We have a BAM and a B&N. I know you have some readers in NW Fla. If that’s not possible, I see there are already two mentions for Mobile. I might be able to go there if my schedule is not too busy at the time.
Congrats on the book!
Congratulations on the new bok, Christy! Now, I know Southern Plate celebrates the ‘southern plate and palate’. But why not share it with us Yankees? Champaign, IL would LOVE to host you! We need more southern charm AND plates up here!
Best of luck in this new venture! I hope you have many more books in your future!

Charleston, SC hearts Southern Plate!
Are all the recipes from the self published book included in the new one?
Hi Christy,
I have a suggestion…QVC has alot of Southern Hosts. I would suggest emailing David Venable at QVC..he has the Kitchen show every Sunday at noon and one segment is Cookbook Corner..I bet they would love to sell your cookbook for you !!
Best of Luck and I cant wait to be able to buy one !!
This Georgia Peach would love for you to come to Atlanta. Congratulations on your cookbook. Can’t wait to get a copy! All of my husband’s favorite meals are from Southern Plate, so he’s anxious, too!
HOUSTON….TEXAS…that is!! Might be a big city, but we have many smaller towns around us as well; I’m sure ladies and gents from these towns would drive into the Big City just to see you and buy your cookbook. Houston would welcome you with open arms – talk about a big hug!
