Southern Plate Cookbook Update!
This sign was sent to be yesterday by Andrew Malcolm to congratulate me on finishing the book. It was made online but BOY did it make my day with a round of giggles!
This morning I turned in the manuscript for the Southern Plate Cookbook which is being published by Harper Studios, a division of Harper Collins. The book is a combination of stories, classic Southern recipes, and some of the most gorgeous photos of Southern food I’ve ever seen. I have worked with an amazing team in putting this book together and I am just about to burst with excitement because I want you to see it so badly!
This is YOUR Cookbook, put together by using your input on what you wanted to see, what recipes you cherished most, and what recipes have been lost that you want most to reclaim for your family. I did include some of the most popular ones on Southern Plate but also made sure to add several exclusive good old fashioned recipes as well – the ones I’ve been asked for the most since starting Southern Plate. I feel just like a child whose colored you a picture and can’t wait for you to get home so I can present it to you! Thank you SO MUCH for giving me this opportunity and for helping me to write this book.
It will be available for pre-order this summer and will be in all major bookstores by the fall. I have one more wish, to make the dream come true for me, I’d sure love to get to meet you! I hope to see you at a book signing once it’s out. I’ll post my schedule as soon as it’s finalized. If you’re a member of the Southern Plate Family, I owe you a hug!
*Note: My self published cookbook is no longer available. Thank you to everyone who purchased it and everyone who has been kind enough to ask if there are any more. I sure do appreciate it and feel confident that you’ll enjoy my new book even more!
I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions for where book signings should be held in the comments below!
Gratefully,
Christy 🙂
There is nothing more pleasant in life than to pass on to others what
one has learned for oneself.

You better do one close to home first!
Birmingham would be great for me!
I can’t wait to get my hands on it! I knew I should have bought one of your first ones while they were available…if I didn’t I knew I’d miss out on the beginning of your wild rocket ride to fame! Time to blast off girl!
Waiting…waiting…waiting…ugh! I don’t know if I can last! I am so glad to hear you have your stories and beautiful pictures along with your recipes! You speak staight to the heart Christy! Cooking with you is like having a best friend over for conversation!
Congratulations…see you in Birmingham!
Hey Christy. Congrats on the book! If you’re touring prior to June, I vote for Irmo, SC. If it’s after June, I vote for Tuscaloosa, AL. (We’re moving!). I love your site. I make so many meals from your recipes. Doing pork chop biscuits tonight 🙂

Oh my gosh!! That’s awesome! I bet you are so darned happy and proud of yourself for meeting your deadline – and you SHOULD BE!!!
Please come to Jackson, MS! I’d love to have an autographed copy – just imagine what a treasure your cookbook would be, passed down to the future generations! My birthday is in August and I am already hinting to my husband about what a great gift it would be!
We would love to have you come to a great bookstore here in Lexington, KY-the store is Joseph-Beth Booksellers! Best of luck to you-I am looking forward to seeing the book!
