Synopsis:
Whether you live below the Mason Dixon Line or just wish you did, The Southerner’s Handbook is your essential guide to Southern living and the good life. Curated by the editors of the award-winning Garden & Gun magazine, this compilation of more than 100 instructional and narrative essays offers a comprehensive tutorial to modern-day life in the South.
From Food and Drink to Sporting & Adventure; Home & Garden to Style, Arts & Culture, you'll discover essential skills and unique insight from some of the South’s finest writers, chefs, and craftsmen—including the secret to perfect biscuits, how to wear seersucker, and to the right way to fall off of a horse.
You'll also find: Roy Blount Jr. on telling a great story; Julia Reed on the secrets of throwing a great party; Jonathan Miles on drinking like a Southerner; Jack Hitt on the beauty of cooking a whole hog; John T Edge on why Southern food matters; and much more.
As flavorful, authentic, and irresistible as the land and the people who inspire it, The Southerner's Handbook is the ultimate guide to being a Southerner (no matter where you live).
More than just a book of manners, this collection delivers essential Southern skills and wisdom:
- Timeless Southern Recipes: Learn the real secret to perfect biscuits from the South’s finest chefs and why John T. Edge insists Southern food matters.
- Essential Sporting Skills: From the proper way to fall off a horse to other unique insights, master the finer points of Southern sporting life and adventure.
- Southern Style & Hospitality: Discover how to wear seersucker with confidence and, with Julia Reed’s guidance, the secrets to throwing a truly great party.
- Rich Storytelling Tradition: Let master storyteller Roy Blount Jr. teach you how to tell a great story and immerse yourself in the authentic arts and culture of the region.
