Most southern cooks will agree with Debbie Moose when she writes,
"Like a full moon on a warm southern night, buttermilk makes
something special happen." Buttermilk explores the rich
possibilities of this beloved ingredient and offers remarkably
wide-ranging recipes for its use in cooking and baking--and
drinking, including The Vanderbilt Fugitive, a buttermilk-based
cocktail. Buttermilk includes fifty recipes--most of which are
uniquely southern, with some decidedly cosmopolitan additions--from
Fiery Fried Chicken to Lavender Ice Cream to Mango-Spice Lassi. For
each recipe, Moose includes background information, snappy
anecdotes, and preparation tips. Replete with helpful hints and
advice for finding the best quality buttermilk available, this
cookbook is indispensable for anyone who wants to learn more about
this tangy cooking staple.
Debbie Moose's Southern Holidays is a cook's celebration of the
richly diverse holiday traditions of today's South. Covering big
traditional holidays such as Christmas and Mardi Gras, this
must-have addition to the Savor the South (R) cookbook collection
also branches out into regional and cultural holidays that honor
newer southern traditions, including recipes from real cooks
hailing from a range of ethnic traditions and histories. The cooks'
stories accompanying the recipes show how holiday foods not only
hold cherished personal family memories but also often have roots
in a common past that ties families together in a shared southern
history. The cookbook's inclusive culinary vision is organized by
the four seasons to mark the progress of the year. Featuring
seventeen holidays and fifty recipes, it includes such classics as
Coconut King Cake for Mardi Gras and Smoky Red Rice for Juneteenth,
as well as southern twists on time-honored delicacies, from
Cajun-Style Rice Dressing for Thanksgiving to Sweet Potato Latkes
for Hanukkah. Southern Holidays also highlights how international
holiday dishes have been adopted in the region over time, from
Moravian Sugar Cake for Christmas to Vietnamese Spring Rolls for
the coastal South's Blessing of the Fleet.
Early in life, North Carolinian Debbie Moose encountered fish
primarily in stick form, but once she experienced her first raw
oyster and first fried soft-shell crab, their pure flavors switched
her on to shellfish and fish forever. Moose has now written the
cookbook that unlocks for everyone the fresh tastes of North
Carolina grilled tuna, steamed shrimp, pan-seared mountain trout,
fried catfish, and baked littleneck clams, to name just a few of
the culinary treasures sourced from the waters of a state that
stretches from the mountains to the sea. In ninety-two dishes,
Moose shows how to prepare North Carolina fish and
shellfish-freshwater, saltwater, wild-caught, and farmed-in both
classic southern and inventive, contemporary ways. The book's Best
Basics section provides a much needed one-stop resource for
confident selection, preparation, and storage, and the Think
Seasonal section offers a comprehensive list with descriptions and
peak availability of North Carolina fish and shellfish. Recipes
include suggestions for appropriate alternate fish or shellfish-the
idea is to try new varieties in season and support local fisheries.
And, as Moose explains, dock-to-door services and local seafood
organizations are making sourcing easier for home cooks.
