We hope you're hungry because we've got some recipes from the South that you're not going to want to miss.

While there are so many different styles of recipes that everyone loves, there's perhaps nothing more beloved than some down-home Southern cooking. When you think of easy country recipes, you can practically smell the cornbread, fresh out of the oven, while sunshine streams in through the windows. The whole family gathers around the table and passes around heaping bowls of veggies, potluck-style, usually accompanied by a glass of cold milk or lemonade. No one's busy texting on their cell phones, and the activity isn't centered around what's on television: just Southern foods and good conversation. Those are the kinds of meals you want your kids to remember. We invite you to turn off the distractions for the night as you get back to basics with Southern cooking done right. It doesn't matter how stressed you are at work or if the weather refuses to cooperate, when you've got a classic country recipe in front of you, all of your worries will simply melt away. Interested in a video sneak peek of this free eCookbook. Click here to check it out!

Starter Recipes

Catfish Cakes

That very first bite of a meal can really set the tone for the entire night. You better make sure it's a good one with these oh-so-tasty appetizer recipes. In fact, you may not even get to the main course! Not if you serve up a plate of our Catfish Cakes (page 1) anyway. Not only do they fit right into place at the dinner table, you can easily set them out for guests to enjoy as you wait for your country dinner to finish cooking. Another easy party appetizer you're going to love is our Good Ol' Southern Deviled Eggs (page 2). Using only five simple ingredients, these gems are simple to whip up if you're low on available prep time right before your guests start arriving - and much more impressive than throwing out a box of crackers! What collection of Southern recipes would be complete without this one for Down South Corn Bread (page 3)?

Country Dinner

Good Ol' Honey Fried Chicken

These easy country recipes are hearty and full of flavor — just what you need after a long, hard day at work. For those cold or rainy days, you're going to be thankful to come home to a steamin' bowl of our All American Fish Chowder (page 6). With a mix of four different veggies paired with your catfish fillets, you can be sure you're getting all the nutrition you need. Add a sweet touch to your Southern cooking with a plateful of Good Ol' Honey Fried Chicken (page 9). This is an easy Southern dinner recipe the kids will love since it's both sweet and gooey. You're going to want to keep some extra napkins handy! To get that authentic Southern cooking flair for BBQ, you can't go wrong with our smoky recipe for Pulled Pork Sandwiches (page 10).

Looks so good would like to try all...

Oh my, tired the skillet meatloaf the other day. Was jut too hot to run the oven. Was so good.....that is a keeper for sue

beate2 6009220 Hi From South Africa, I came across your web site and downloaded my first cooking book, we will try it out and keep you posted Regards Martin Erasmus

Try frying some Mexican tomatios for a real zing. They are tasty and spicy.

i cant wate for my cookbook were my family can try the Recipes out because we are taird of the same thing all the time?

all I can say is wow and yummy and oh yes im in food heaven now lets get healthy

To the folks trying to find green tomatoes in Arizona & California, in the Spring, purchase tomoto plants[Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Home Depot..] and grow your own. Space in a problem where we live so I grow our tomotoes & peppers in various sized pots on our deck. The veggies grow beautifully [with a regular feeding of plant food] and simply pick the green tomotoes before they ripen..so easy & simple.

There is a difference between green tomatoes and an unripen tomato. a true green tomato has a bit of zing to it. An unripe tomato will not have the same flavor. Try to find real green tomatoes for the genuine experience.

All I wanted to do was get a printed copy of an apple pie recipie... darn! This looks good, but where is that apple pie?

Looks Good, Thanks

This is a great cookbook

I THINK MR.FOOD IS A GOOD COOK AND HE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD RECIPES TO TRY. SO I GIVE HIM TWO THUMB'S UP.

i love southern comfort food, but what i want to know, is where do i get green tomatoes in arizona?

Arizona has to be as difficult to find green tomatoes as California. On rare occasions I have found a couple here and there at a farmers market but I have found it is much easier and reliable to grow them in a little spot in my yard or in planters. This way I have the best of both worlds, green and ripe !! ;) Best of luck & happy cooking.

yum yum

I love it!

some of these recipes are so new to me, I cant wait to serve them up for my family. Thanks So Much.

Thank you vry mcuh. I'm going to read all your recipes and hope can try to cook it very soon.

Thank you, I'm going to try 3 of the recipes in the future. I will get back to you as soon as possible can't wait.

I like all your recipes and I was so excited to be able to download the "Down-Home Cooking;24 Easy Southern Favorites. But, the Fried Green Tomato recipe on page 21 is an exact copy of the Southern Potato Bake on page 19.
