Praise

“Starting with the delicious fundamentals of the southern Appalachian larder, Ashley first fills your pantry with the goods, then shows you how to turn them into a bountiful table of delights. A born teacher with a storyteller’s charm, her directions are both fun, clear, and will make you capable in no time. And nothing could inspire you more than Johnny Autry’s luscious photos, so roll up your sleeves, and get down to scratch!”—Ronni Lundy, author of Victuals

Southern from Scratch is sure to become one of the definitive, essential volumes on the cuisine of the American South. A culmination of Ashley English’s own history and the region that shaped her, this book is packed with fundamental recipes that will wow you with flavor while always teaching you something new. Ashley shares her skill with such generosity and warmth, inviting us into her Appalachian kitchen with every breathtaking page.”—Alana Chernila, author of Eating from the Ground Up and The Homemade Pantry

“Alongside beautiful photography from G&G contributor Johnny Autry, Ashley English shares steadfast recipes that build on the pillars of the Southern larder, like pickled okra and dilly beans, plus some with unexpected twists you’ll want to try tonight, like macaroni and cheese with a potato chip crust.”—Garden & Gun
