In nearly 80 years of life so far, shea (TM)s been there, cooked that, and earned nearly every culinary accolade there is. And shea (TM)s not done yet. This fall brings a victory lap: Nathalie Dupreea (TM)s Favorite Stories & Recipes. Not all of the recipes in this booka "Dupreea (TM)s fifteentha "are strictly a oeSouthern.a Therea (TM)s French onion soup, lemon and berry tart, and garlic-stuffed roast chicken, for example. But even the most die-hard fried chicken fan wants to eat a perfectly golden oven-baked bird now and again, and what better Southern source than Dupree for learning how to prepare one? The confidence that comes with experience permeates every page. Take Dupreea (TM)s recipe for sausage and apples, one of the authora (TM)s go-to weeknight suppers. Thata (TM)s it: Link sausage (though bulk works, too) and Gala apples (chosen because they retain their shape in cooking). But because sometimes cooks want a tasty homemade meal without dirtying every dish in the kitchen, Dupree also offers three recipes that make more of this flavorful combinationa "a soup, a quiche, and even a hearty casserole.--Phillip Rhodes "Garden & Gun Magazine" (9/26/2019 12:00:00 AM) A must-have cookbook for her legions of fans who have watched her on TV, read her articles in magazines and newspapers, or invoked her name in a conversation about Southern food, "Nathalie Dupree's Favorite Stories and Recipes" is a beautifully illustrated and delightful resource for planning memorable meals for all dining occasions.

Dupree's TV shows, cookbooks, and classes have been hugely influential among Southern home cooks. Her latest book takes you through her entire storied life in food, from serving as a one-woman school cafeteria for her college classmates to running one of the most popular cooking schools in the South. While her recipes are always worth making (don't miss her biscuits), you'll love reading this book too.--Lisa Cericola "Southern Living" (12/1/2019 12:00:00 AM)
