For the benefit of those outside of the U.S., "the South" means the southeastern United States, ya'll.

Quick U.S. history lesson. Why is the southeastern part of the United States called "the South," and not "the Southeast"? Well, when it was given that name the settled part of the United States didn't go but maybe 1/3 across the continent (from east to west). At that time, "the South" was the south part of the United States.

There's a similar situation with "the Midwest" in the United States. The Midwest is nowhere close to being in the middle of the western United States today; it was given that name, however, when it was the middle part of what was then called "the West." Around that time any settled territory west of the Appalachian Mountains was considered "the West."

Now, here's information about the book.

At My Grandmother's Table: Heartwarming Stories and Cherished Recipes from the South. By Faye Porter. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 27 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $24.99; regular(?) digital price $14.44; Kindle price now $0.99. HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publisher. 282 pages. http://www.amazon.com/At-Grandmother...from+the+South.

Book Description
What would you give for an afternoon in your grandmother's kitchen?

Leaning over the countertop, you watched as she added the flour―just a little at a time―to the bowl of her old, yellow Sunbeam stand mixer. To her, cooking may have been as second nature as setting the table. To you, it seemed almost like magic―the way she skillfully put things together to create the mouthwatering meals and one-of-a-kind desserts you enjoyed at her table. Likely, it's her culinary delights that have set the bar for everything you've eaten since. And let's face it, her pan fried pork chops and home-baked banana bread make anyone else's versions pale in comparison. If you find yourself wishing for just a little more time in your grandmother's kitchen―complete with her stories and the memories of the comforting favorites she lovingly made for you―you're sure to embrace this celebration of grandmother's cooking. She'd be proud!
