Vogue first featured me deep-frying turkeys in 1993. Now my international collection that includes Southern favorites as well as delicate tempura and stir-fries is challenging conventional wisdom with this return to a sane approach to everyone's favorite foods. 125 recipes for everything from fried chicken to fried ice cream.

Subtitled Dining at Home in the Lowcountry, this "coffee table" book features over 200 photographs by Kelly Bugden and myself of fifteen private homes in the area, with a menu prepared at each setting. An illustrated tour of the three sister cities that are the gems of the southeastern seaboard. With historical sketches and 75 recipes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says it's "gorgeous" and calls me "the South's answer to Martha Stewart."

With a foreword by Lee Bailey and wine recommendations by Debbie Marlowe, my second cookbook features mostly simple recipes from Arkansas to Florida, from Texas to Virginia. With an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients and an extensive listing of sources. Most recipes call for fewer than ten ingredients, though a few showcase the work of the region's finest chefs such as Alabama's Frank Stitt, Virginia's Jimmy Sneed, and New Orleans's Jamie Shannon.
