Winter 2015

Here’s a list of a few recent highlights from the Mississippi cookbook stacks at TurnRow Book Company in Greenwood. Eat up!

1.) Eat Drink Delta by Susan Puckett (University of Georgia Press, 2013) Enhances any road trip through the Delta, whether it’s a restaurant guide or a history book for this singular food culture

2.) Sweet & Southern by Ben Mims (Rizzoli, 2014) Mims, of Kosciusko, offers a lovely palate of classic Southern desserts with a few tasty curve balls and updates.

3.) Southern Comfort by Allison Vines-Rushing and Slade Rushing (Ten Speed, 2012) Mississippi roots meet French Quarter flair. The first recipe — grits and grillades — is worth the price of the book alone.

4.) Pickles, Pigs & Whiskey by John Currence (Andrews McMeel, 2013) A new staple of young Southern kitchens and fully stocked hunting camps — where swillers, smokers and cussers learn to cook

5.) Field Peas to Foie Gras by Jennifer Hill Booker (Pelican, 2014) Refined soul food from a Mississippi native, who took her country-kitchen roots to Paris’ Le Cordon Bleu

6.) Screen Doors and Sweet Tea by Martha Foose (Clarkson Potter, 2008) Foose: Deltan, storyteller, chef extraordinaire. No cookbook list from Turnrow would be complete without our all-time best-seller.
