Taste sensations and family recipes that will have you saying, “Yum, y'all!” Nurtured in South Louisiana’s Cajun and Creole cooking culture, Ann Hollowell added the thrills of Tex-Mex and international flavors while living in Texas, and her move to Mississippi brought her to traditional down-home Southern cooking. As the host of The Cooking Lady, she assembles some of her best Southern recipes, throwing in a dash of humor as she tells the funny stories behind her favorite foods. Flavorful recipes for hearty Seafood Bisque, Spicy Carrot Cake, Chutney Puffs, Orange Tea Biscuits, Marinated Shrimp, Roasted Spiced Sweet Potatoes, Big Daddy's Salmon, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Bourbon Smash, and many more are featured in this collection from her show.
