Watch the Photo Shoot for the Southern Plate Cookbook!
Good Morning everyone!
Good Morning everyone!Today is day two of the photo shoot for the Southern Plate Cookbook, which is being published by Harper Collins and will be in all major bookstores (and more) in the fall of this year.
The cookbook will feature stories, recipes, and plenty of gorgeous food photography as well family photos of some of my wonderful grandparents whose recipes will be included. The photography crew is truly amazing and I can’t wait for you to see the final outcome!
All day yesterday, my husband Ricky took photos on his iphone of the shoot as it was taking place and posted them on the Southern Plate Facebook page to share with y’all. If you’d like to see them, head on over there now and please join the page, we’d love to have you! He’ll be doing the same today so tune in as he updates throughout the day. The crew is set to arrive in about half an hour and I just got apple spice muffins from the oven so the kitchen smells yummy! I have two big old crock pots of beef stew that have been going all night long to feed everyone for lunch and of course there’ll be plenty of sweet tea!
Join us today on the Facebook page if you can. It’s thanks to you that this book is going to happen!
Gratefully,
Christy 🙂

This is so exciting! I love cookbooks and have a collection of nearly 300, but this one will be special. I haven’t done a thing, but I feel like I’m part of all that’s happening. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date as the book progresses and especially posting all the pictures. Can’t wait for it to come out!!
congrats christi I can not wait I will have to buy several for gifts, I appreciate all the recipes, I hope you put your mommas mac & cheese & I made I think a mandarine orange cake you said something about your mom making it for her reunion. It will be easier to get out your cook book & start making the stuff up. I hope it makes the best seller list, lots of luck , Maggie
I can’t wait for it to be in bookstores so I can say “I know her!!”
Just wait, Food Network will be knocking on your door!
Happy New Year,

Christy,
That’s pretty darn cool! So glad to see you’re getting your book together! I see little Katy is getting some face time in too! lol
Also, I just wanted to say that I think that’s so gracious of you to include shots of the people who are helping make that happen. I always knew that you a special breed of lady but to put up photos including the people who work behind the scenes is just one more way you’re showing us that you’re better than most. Yet another reason I love SP so much!
I’m sure this is eating up a lot of your time. I hope things settle down for you after this is done and you can just relax and get back to what you love doing most.
Thanks for sharing this with us!

My Grandma use to say, “You build a better mousetrap and people will beat a path to your door”….you built a better mousetrap (as in food blog) and we all ended up on your doorstep. : )..Congratulations Christy. I look forward to the cookbook and I know my sister in law, who follows your blog too, will be waiting for it.
Congratulations Christy and family on the new cookbook and the wonderful start for 2010, A heart of gold Christy has and the blessings are flowing with love.
Happy New Year,
Cherrill
Watching all your success is so much fun for me. I’m excited for you, what I am not is surprised. You are talented, smart, fun, kind and cute as a button. All these attributes led you to where you are now, and I believe we are all where we are meant to be. With that said, have fun, sit back and enjoy the ride. I am so looking forward to the final product, it’s going to hold a special place in my “Library”.
~sending you kisses and hugs…:)
