What a fun way to look at food–you can buy the same major ingredients to cook either a Southern or a French dish. It’s all in the way you put the ingredients together!

Instead of Crab, Shrimp and Oyster Gumbo tonight, why not give Bouillabaisse a whirl? Do you normally make a Cassoulet? Try a good pot of Southern Pinto Beans and Smoked Ham Hocks for dinner! You have some trout to cook tonight. Do you want some Southern Pan-Fried Trout, or would you rather go French with Poisson au Papillote?

From pot roast to pork chops, Lemon Meringue Pie to Tart au Citron, there’s a variation to cover whatever you want to cook. Cook Southern tonight and French tomorrow night–and just have fun with it!

I received a early reader’s copy of this book from Pelican Publishing Company for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
