I grew up on a farm in New York just a couple of hours north of New York City. I lived in the same area until I was 38 then I moved to South Carolina. I have lived here for 7 and a half years now and have discovered that there are more 'Yankees' in the South than there are in all of New York. When you look at a map showing migration of US citizens to other states, it shows that at least half of the citizens that move every year move to a southern state. It's a Yankee invasion With this in mind, I decided to work to fuse the completely different cultures by using food I love to cook. As I said, I grew up on a farm in the country and cooked all the time. When I came to South Carolina, my love for cooking grew even more as I learned to cook some good 'Southern Home Cooking'. Over the years, I have dabbled and fiddled with some of the recipes I learned from my home in the Catskill Mountain region of Upstate New York with some of the new ones I have learned in my time in South Carolina. The result has been unique recipe creations that fuse the two cultures combining the home cooking styles of the South with the hearty country cooking of the North. These recipes have never failed to get rave reviews by all who have tasted them. I like calling it 'Southern Yankee Cooking'. I've added 22 NEW Southern Yankee creations for you to try and enjoy So without any further ado let's get on with the cooking Eat and enjoy
