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.

OOOOOklahoma where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain. We would love to have you visit Oklahoma City!
I agree…Madison first. Then Birmingham would be a big city for lots of your fans to congregate. Congratulations!
After you leave Birmingham, head east on I-20 and stop at the Books-A-Million in Oxford, AL – I can’t wait to get your cook book!!!
Christy,
It’s not a bookstore but I sure would like to see you and your book on QVC with David Venable on his “Cooking with David” show on Sunday. He features at least one cookbook each week. Wouldn’t that be fun (and sell a lot of books)? I’ve e-mailed David so who knows?
If not QVC, definitely come to the Philadelphia suburbs!
Another invitation (and hugs-awaiting!!!) in the Richmond, Virginia, area! PLEEEEEEEASE come…you could plan a family vacation around your book-signing visit…SO much for your family to see & do in this fabulous State (hhmmm, Commonwealth!).
Well since you will be in VA. and Washington DC you should come on over to the Barnes and Noble in Annapolis MD
P.S. I’ve been singing “Berry Pie” by Dolly Parton due to your berry cobbler post!
I woke up in the night singing it! I think I have it on loop in my head now! LOL!
Congrats to you. I know you are about to “just have a spell!” Are you going to be in the Franklin/Nashville area? Yeah!!!!! Yee Haw! I think I am going to have a spell! Thanks for sharing, and God bless you Christy.
