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.

Gadsden or Oxford, AL. If I have to I will come to Huntsville or Birmingham to see ya, but if you are closer I can get some of my friends to come. After you get more information I will e-mail Rachel from Alabama Bloggers and see if I could do some sort of interview or write up about you and SP. That is what that site is all about supporting all the wonderful bloggers from our great state.
You need to come to El Dorado Arkansas! I am so excited for you! Congratualtions! What an accomplishment! Can’t wait to purchase one!
I ~third~ Madison! Can’t wait to get my hands on that book! 🙂
Northwest Arkansas! Fayetteville, Bentonville, home of the Hogs and Walmart!
Christy,
We were in Trussville, Alabama but have recently moved. So, my vote is for Winston-Salem,NC. I would love to meet you. I love making recipes from your site and my honey loves them too.
Winston-Salem is close enough! Still about 1.5 hours away, but I guess I could deal with it just for this 😉
Has your publisher checked into getting you into the Southern Women’s Shows? Everyone here loves to go to them. Memphis usually has authors at Davis-Kidd Booksellers if they are going to carry your book but the people that I know would enjoy your book may or may not be familiar with it. What about Baptist Bookstores or will they carry it? We would love to have you at our Angel Food regional meeting but probably couldn’t coordinate schedules… never know. Don’t forget about Ambassadors!Wherever you go, I’ll be there and I know my daughter would in Little Rock AR!
Don’t forget to have them also book you on morning shows with our Angelfood supporters! FOX 13 Memphis with Valerie Calhoun; CBS WREG 3 with Mary Beth Conley or April Thompson; WREC FOX Radio 600 AM with Debby Hall; NBC WMC 5 with Kontji Anthony; interview with Wendy Thomas at Commercial Appeal newspaper. You now have over 128 area churches waiting for you to come to the Mid-South. You can even go to Beale St. or go to the Neely’s restaurants here for true barbecue!If Sister Schubert can bring her rolls and cookbook to Memphis, you know you can because Jordan rolls top hers any day!
Nashville, Tennessee no better place…:-) I can’t wait to get an autographed copy….
Be Blessed….
