Synopsis

Introduction pEOPLE think of theS outhland as the place where the sun shines brighter, the breezes are gentler, the birds sing sweeter and the flowers are fairer.

Many fine dishes had to be omitted to make way for better ones. The natural, geographic and climatic advantages of the different sections of the sunnyS outh have played an important part in Dixie cookery. The fertile fields, plentiful fruit trees and waterways have each contributed bountifully. Every part of theS outhland is individual and distinctive in its cookery. The Creole Dish of New Orleans has nothing to do with racial origin but rather indicates the use of red and green peppers, onions and garlic. Oranges, grapefruit and avocados play an important part in Florida cookery. Maryland is famous for its fried chicken and its delicious sea food recipes.
