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 🙂

Head West, Christy! How about San Jose, California…
Anchorage, AK! I know we’re about as far from the South as you can get, but we’re a military family from the Midwest, and making your recipes sure has made me feel closer to home. I’ve printed off a whole stack of them to try, and so far they’ve all been hits. Even something as simple as fried potatoes reminded me of staying over at my grandma’s house when I was little and having them for breakfast. But I never could make them the way she did until I saw your trick of covering them for the first little bit. It made me so happy when they turned out just right. Thank you for all the time you put in!
We have over 150 churches in Angel Food Ministries here that are waiting for you to come on “over” to Memphis and “Elvisland”. I keep sending your site to people and they sign up, now they want to meet you. Some have already reserved your book! I want mine autographed and kissed!
