Kelsey Barnard Clark - Southern Grit: 100+ Down-Home Recipes for the Modern Cook

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to the original matriarchs of my familyGrandmother June, Great-Grandmother Lil, and Great-Grandmother Mildred, affectionately known as Sweetie. You passed down your fierce, driven spirits, and we sense your nurturing and tender hearts in each recipe you left us. You each broke glass ceilings that made it possible for my generation to become the modern Southern woman. Thank you, I dedicate this book to yall.

Hey yall! I am thrilled to throw my doors open and welcome yall into my little life. I am a chef, mother, wife, plant enthusiast, animal lover, thrifter, MacGyverer, and protector of tradition. I believe in the old way of doing things, but am the first to stand in line for progress and change. I cook the way your grandmother would and am an advocate for a traditional kitchen. I was raised to believe you catch more flies with honey, but I often have the temperament and brashness of a true New Yorker. I was the first to leave home, saying I would never return, and the first to come back. I am a proud Southern woman and aim to make things better than the way I found them.
