Brulé, a food writer who studied recipe development at the Culinary Institute of America, here provides a classic recipe and two variations for each of 25 popular Southern dishes, including fried chicken, cheese grits, buttermilk biscuits, and red velvet cake. The book's contemporary variations are generally healthier. For instance, a variant on green beans swaps the traditional ham hock for a bright mix of garlic, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. International variations offer zestier takes on the classics, incorporating spices and condiments from the global pantry.
VERDICT While some Southern cookbooks limit readers to one cooking style, this title offers novices the choice of trying several interpretations of a given dish.
