The Southern Sympathy Cookbook

Shop Notes: A fun little cookbook with a collection of Southern recipes that are excellent for gatherings and get-togethers.  I've enjoyed many of these dishes in the past without having the necessity of bidding farewell to the dearly departed beforehand.  The additional stories, obituaries, and funeral culinary traditions maintain a nice balance of light and dark humor. Very enjoyable book. From the Publisher: Hearty bites for the heavy-hearted "He had a life-long love affair with deviled eggs, his homemade canned fig preserves, and buttermilk served in martini glasses garnished with cornbread." ―Obituary from Gulfport, Mississippi   So-called "funeral food" is having a moment. Comforting casseroles; jugs of sweet tea; creamy, cheesy potatoes―all these foods provide sympathy and sustenance for the bereaved. The Southern Sympathy Cookbook includes unexpectedly humorous obituaries and anecdotes alongside staples of Southern funerals such as: Three Bean Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette Frie
