Home is where the heart is and Vivian Howard’s home is North Carolina’s coastal plain and the town of Deep Run. She shares more than 200 recipes that share the rich heritage of Southern food in this region. Recipes focus on using the resources of the area including shrimp, sweet potatoes, blueberries, pork, beans, and more. Dishes include crowd pleasers such as Blueberry BBQ Chicken, Creamed Collard-Stuffed Potatoes, Butterbean Hummus, Pimiento Cheese Grits with Salsa and Pork Rinds, and Warm Banana Pudding. The sweet potato is a Southern staple and whether you make a Sweet Potato Cornbread with it or a more virtuous Roast Sweet Potato and Feta Salad it’s sure to become one of your favorites no matter where you live.
