Watch the Photo Shoot for the Southern Plate Cookbook!

20367_246000434136_141512694136_3041389_1432675_nGood 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 🙂

  1. I have been telling people how to cook Greens for the last longest, I thought my oldest son, could cook them k untill the other day I was at his house and he told me he would like some Mustard greens, so I went to the store and show him how to buy fresh greens , got some ham hocks, and went home washed them and stemed them and put them on to cook, the whole house smelled great, and the greens was out of this world,now he says he want forget how to cook them. As you can see I am from
    the deep south, but I do love to do your meals.

    bit of the energy that my two chicks have today.

    and Books Amillion) to buy your book.

  5. Everything looks amazing and like so much fun! I can’t wait for the cookbook! I found your website through southernsavers.com and I absolutely love how you provide step by step instructions. I am not the biggest fan of cooking, but I LOVE baking, but I have even tried some of your recipes and the step by step instructions has helped me be less stressed when cooking! I am also new to the South, love many southern dishes, and am very excited that you provide many of these delicious recipes!
