That's a sweet 88% off of the digital list price.

I've about gone broke buying cookbooks. Anytime I run across one now, I try to find some reason not to buy it. I couldn't come up with a reason for this one. Not with me liking highly rated books, huge bargains, and Southern food as I do.

Even if you don't buy the book, be sure to check out the free recipe on the webpage at Amazon for the book, if you like onions. There's a scrumptious-looking free recipe for Egyptian Walking Onions. (I don't know if the recipe is in the book, all that it says in the title of the recipe is "featured recipe").

A Southerly Course: Recipes and Stories from Close to Home. By Martha Hall Foose. Rated 4.7 stars, from 21 reviews at Amazon at the present moment. Print list price N/A; digital list price $17.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Clarkson Potter, publisher. 256 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Southerly-Cou.../dp/B004S3H14I.

Book Description
In the highly anticipated follow-up to her bestselling Screen Doors & Sweet Tea, Martha Hall Foose shares recipes and stories that are even closer to her home and heart.

A Southerly Course delves deep into Mississippi Delta flavors and foodways, where Martha finds inspiration in local ingredients—from figs and sweet potatoes to crawfish and venison. In her signature style, she pairs each recipe with an anecdote or words of advice, her memorable tales about each dish lingering long after the last bite has been polished off.

Martha’s beloved Southern cuisine is a fresh take on homey favorites fiercely protected by the locals, including Skillet Fried Corn, Sweet Pickle Braised Pork Shoulder, and Blackberry Jelly Roll. Dishes such as Sweet-and-Sour Salsify and Peanut Chicken, on the other hand, reflect the influence other cuisines have had on Southern cooking. Martha’s lifelong bond with Mississippi is most apparent when she introduces her friends and family; she dedicates Burgundy Duck to a fiery group of women duck hunters called the Swamp Witches, while her cousin’s new wife inspires Korean-style Grilled Green Onions. And in recalling her former neighbor, the famed author Eudora Welty, she reveals the secret to a perfect Custard Pie.

With more than 100 recipes and beautiful color photographs, this book is a wonderful, personal look into the South that Martha loves. Gather around her table in A Southerly Course for unforgettable food and vivid stories, both hallmarks in a rich Southern tradition.
