Paula Deen's The Deen Family Cookbook

Paula Deen's The Deen Family Cookbook

For Paula Deen, good old-fashioned Southern cooking has always been a family affair. “I remember as a young girl going to family reunions, and, oh my gosh, everybody would just try to outdo the other with their best dishes.” Later, when the #1 Food Network® star opened her restaurant, The Lady & Sons, her aunts, uncles, cousins and, of course, sons Jamie and Bobby, gathered to help her every step of the way. Her first full-length cookbook since 2006 is a love letter to family, love and good food—and her entire clan is here to get in on the celebration with 175 of their favorite recipes and the stories behind them, plus snapshots from their photo albums.

There’s plenty for everyone to love, from healthy fare to fabulous desserts and sweets from Paula’s cousins who run a popular bakery of their own. Earl “Bubba” Hiers shares his recipe for Bubba’s Beer & Onion Buscuits (“Leave it to my little brother to figure out a way to get beer onto the breakfast table.”). And Jamie and Bobby once again prove that talent runs in the family with their many contributions. Even Paula's hubby, Michael, gets in on the fun with a recipe for Crab Pot Pies that, as Paula says, “melt your heart they’re so delicious.”
