Trisha Yearwood, host of Food Networks Trishas Southern Kitchen, is adored by fans as one of country musics top stars, but among family and friends, Trisha Yearwood is best known for another talent: cooking. Throughout her life--from her humble roots in Georgia to her triumphant recording years in Nashville and a fulfilling married life with husand Garth Brooks in Oklahoma--Trisha has always enjoyed feeding those she loves. Now she dishes up a collection of more than 120 of her go-to recipes in a tribute to both home-grown cooking and family traditions. Trisha believes a recipe always tastes better when it has a memory attached to it. Here, she teams up with her mother and sister to share their familys best-loved recipes. This is the kind of classic comfort food youll want at the heart of your own familys mealtime memories. Inside is a full menu of Southern fare with a contemporary twist. But you dont have to be a Southerner to enjoy Yearwood family favorites such as: Trisha s Chicken Tortilla Soup Gwens Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy Stuffed Pork Chops Breakfast Sausage Casserole Blackberry Cobbler Banana Pudding Along with the recipes for inviting soups, textural salads, home-style family entr?es, colorful side dishes, and irresistible desserts, Trisha shares everything from charming personal anecdotes to practical advice, time-saving tips, and creative ingredient substitutions to accommodate all tastes. With full-color photographs taken in and around Trishas homes and a foreword by Garth Brooks, this soul-warming slice of Southern life will delight country music fans and home cooks alike. Best of all, this is un-pretentious food that is easy to put together, satisfies even big country appetites, and tastes like home. Trisha s warm evocations of pre-paring food for loved ones will transport you back to your own childhood. These are recipes youll enjoy with your family for years to come. From the Hardcover edition.

Why is it that two people can make the same dish, following the same recipe from beginning to end, and one will taste ten times better than the other? We all judge food on how it smells and how it tastes, but when you find a dish that is amazing, there is always that something you cant describe. I believe that something is love. Loving to cook is the difference between making food that is good and food that is great.

Watching Miss Yearwood (as I often call my wife) in the kitchen, it is easy to see how much she loves to cook. In fact, she defines what loving to cook means to me. Peeling potatoes and snapping green beans are chores that I rush through to get them over with; Trisha looks upon these tasks not as chores but as the careful, loving steps she takes on the way to making a meal that will bring joy to whoever is seated at our table.

When I think of Thanksgiving or Christmas, it is always with the pleasure of knowing this years meal will be amazing. The anticipation of the German chocolate cake she bakes each year for my birthday makes me not mind getting a year older. And I know how happy it makes her that all of our friends feel the same way, because she always makes their favorite cake, pie, or pudding for their special days, too.

Be it for family or guests, Trisha always wants the meal to be something worth remembering. Which brings me to this: To make truly delicious meals, not only must you love to cook, you must also love those for whom you are cooking. That is what makes Miss Yearwoods cooking simply the best.

Other than for the singing thing I do, Im best known among my friends for my cooking. Its something I take great pride in. I dont think people expect me to be a good cook, so its always fun to watch their expressions as they taste whatever Ive made. Their liking my food gives me the same feeling I get when an audience applauds one of my performancesit feels good!

Food seems to always be a topic of conversation when my friends and I get together. Somebodys got some new recipe we all need to try, or were talking about a new restaurant thats just opened and finding out if anyones been there yet. Sharing recipes and memories about food has always been a great way to connect with friends and family.

When I first moved to Oklahoma, what I missed most of all was my family. We make every effort to see one another often, but there are those times when we cant get together, and I found myself on those lonely days making my moms chicken noodle soup or baking a batch of my niece Ashleys banana bread. For my birthday a few years ago, my mom and my sister put together a notebook full of our favorite family recipes and called it Georgia Recipes for an Oklahoma Kitchen. Ashley even did artwork on her computer, using pictures of both states for the cover. Weve come a long way from that binder full of typed recipes, and we found many lost or never-written-down recipes along the way.

That compilation planted the seed for this very special family cookbook. Some of these recipes go back to my grandmothers, Elizabeth Yearwood and Elizabeth Lizzie Paulk. I love the idea of making a meal I can imagine my grandmother Lizzie making for Grandaddy to enjoy when he came in from working the tobacco fields back in the 1930s. Its yet another way we stay connected from generation to generation. My mom, my sister, and I had a wonderful time organizing, compiling the recipes, and sometimes recreating an old recipe entirely to make it workable for modern kitchens and lives. Youll also find that the ones that do take a bit more time and effort, like the frosted birthday cakes and the super-huge Just Married Pound Cake, create wonderful memories you will share with your family for generations to come.

My sister and I have really high standards when it comes to cooking, because we learned from the best. Mama taught us the basics of cooking and to use what you have available. I think one of the biggest lessons she taught me is that its okay to change a recipe to make it work for me. I used to follow every recipe to the letter, afraid that if I left out something or added something else, it wouldnt turn out right. She also taught us simple rules of thumbthe ratio of flour to fat to liquid in a white sauce or a biscuit dough, for examplethat are at the heart of every successful recipe. I learned that as long as I observed those basic guidelines, I could change the rest around. My husband recently asked if we could try to create a heartier, meatier lasagna recipe, and I said, Sure! Lets experiment. If it turns out well, maybe itll make the next cookbook!
