About the Book:

Georgia Hometown Cookbook dishes up a double-helping of local, tried and true recipes and fun-filled facts about hometowns all-over the state. From metropolitan Atlanta to the Southern grace of Savannah, from the soaring beauty of the Appalachians to the sun-kissed Atlantic coast, Georgia is rich with recipes handed down through the generations.

Kent Whitaker and Sheila Simmons bring you more than 300 of Georgia’s all-time favorite recipes. From Georgia’s Favorite Brunswick Stew to Fresh-Baked Homestyle Peach Pie, Vidalia Onion Farm Fresh Salsa to Sweet Georgia Brown Orange Tea, Fried Green Tomatoes to Georgia Bulldog Deep Dish Tailgate Dip, there are delicious, hometown recipes to please everyone... especially the cook because every recipe is easy-to-follow and uses ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

For those that confess to reading their cookbooks like novels (you know who you are) you’ll enjoy interesting food facts and stories about fun food festivals around the state such as The Georgia Strawberry Festival in Reynolds which brings Big Mama’s Deep Dish Strawberry Cobbler Pie with Strawberry Whipped Cream -- first-place prize winner in the pie division.

When it comes to Georgia hometown cooking, there’s a lot to love. And this book brings you the BEST that Georgia has to offer!
