Authentic Southern Food

There are many sources for Southern recipes, but few are truly authentic down home Southern food. When you see a Southern recipe for cornbread that includes sugar...that ain't Southern! Southern Cooking is a style of cooking unlike any other. Southern Recipes utilize a lot of fried food, buttermilk and corn meal.

Here's rule #1 for cooking Southern Food: Never put sugar in cornbread and always in iced tea!

With few exceptions, all the Southern recipes here came from my 93 year old mom, the greatest Southern cook ever. We invite you to browse our Southern recipes, bookmark us and return often.
