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

Southlake, Texas – Barnes and Noble in Town Square.
There are so many replies that I couldn’t read them all,but,Christy, what about this idea……Decide where you and the family really want to visit and let us all know. Then your SP family can insist that you have a book signing there!!! Good for all of us then!!!
I can’t wait to get your cookbook – would love to see you at the Borders in Marietta, GA (at The Avenue).
Fort Worth, Texas. I’m telling everyone I know about your website and the fact that I haven’t tried any recipe yet that hasn’t been good. I am so confident about the outcome of your recipes that I even dare to make them for the first time for company!
Borders Book store at Interstate 30 at Hulen in Fort Worth would be great. This is right in front of Central Market which would also be an excellent place to you to come. People come from miles around to go to this market that has stuff from all over the world. For example, there are at least 20 different kinds of apples there. The only Central Market locations I know of are in Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin.
Denton, TX would be good too. It is the home of the University of North Texas, UNT. My son is a journalist for the Denton Record Chronicle. He could do a story for the paper if you came there. Denton is approximately 25 miles north of Fort Worth and about 25 miles northwest of Dallas. The Denton Record Chronicle is owned by the Dallas Morning News so often, if something pertains to the greater Dallas area, my son’s articles are also published in the Dallas Morning News. With 5 million people in the DFW metroplex, you could cover places in Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth, Arlington, Frisco, Denton, etc. in a couple of days. The Denton Record Chronicle and The Dallas Morning News are owned by Belo, the same company that owns our local ABC affiliate Channel 8. They have a local morning show that perhaps you could be on.

By the way, he is a big fan of your family’s Chicken Stew.
I requested my little city of Longview, WA before but figure its kind of a long shot considering its not real big so would you please consider Vancouver, WA if you can’t come to Longview?
It’s just across the river from Portland, OR but I always get lost in Portland.
LOL
Paducah,Ky. would be my first choice, but I saw several requests for Nashville TN or Cape Girardeau MO and could justify a trip in either direction! Just let me know when and where and I will be there!!!! Congratulations on the book! I have already preordered my copy!
We southerner’s up here in Michigan just can’t wait for your new cookbook! Please, please come to Sterling Heights’ Barnes & Noble (it’s just north of little ol’ Detroit) and I guarrantee that you will be swamped by us Southern (in mind and heart!) gals. Can’t wait to get your new cookbook!!
