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,

There is nothing more pleasant in life than to pass on to others what
one has learned for oneself.

Longview or Tyler, Texas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙂
Asheville, NC would be a great locale for a book signing – not to big a place but not to small either, and the scenery is beautiful!! Lots of eclectic and diverse folks live in the area and as you can see from previous comments alot of support in the area too. I’ve purchased a couple of copies of your self published cookbook and can’t wait for this new arrival!! Congrats!
I vote for Greensboro or Winston-Salem NC. I live north of Greensboro in the middle of nowhere but I could make it to either of those cities. Can’t wait. I have your self published cookbook too. Love the recipes!!
Atlanta, GA or Charleston, SC!

Hey Christy!
Please come to Dallas, TX!!! We can highly recommend the Barnes and Noble at Firewheel in Garland (a suburb of Dallas). We’d love to meet you and take you to an awesome Southern-style restaurant!

I think you should come to beautiful Pensacola Florida. We have beautiful white beaches for the children to play on. For the adults we have a museum of Naval Aviation located on NAS Pensacola. And many more sites to see and appreciaate. One of the attractions is an eatery called McGuires Pub owned by Mr & Ms Martin. People have stapled money on the ceiling giving it a crazy atmosphere. Just one of many sites located here. Love to see you come here, and want to say thank you for all of your hard work, I know it isn’t easy. Van
Not to mention Blue Dot, The Coffee Cup, Jerry’s Drive-In… Oh, and antique malls with Depression glass and Fire King.
I’ll throw in some butter as a bribe to sweeten the deal! 😉
Butter… that’s too funny!!
