Virginia Willis
Bon Appetit Y'All: Stories and Recipes from Three Generations of Southern Cooking
$32.50

Bon Appetit Y'All: Stories and Recipes from Three Generations of Southern Cooking by Virginia Willis, is a family collection of 200 recipes for great Southern home cooking imbued with contemporary sensibility and classical French technique. Before she attended the prestigious French cooking school La Varenne, Virginia Willis was shelling butterbeans alongside her mother and grandmother in her Georgia family kitchen ever since she could stand on a stool. These divergent influences inform her passionate homage to the cooking of the South.

From simple starters and slaws to generous entrees and desserts, Willis makes this down-home refined and haute cuisine approachable, with recipes like Vidalia Onion Soup with Bacon Flan, Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mama's Barbecue Sauce, and Hot Vanilla Soufflés with Vanilla Ice Cream.

Brimming with stories, photos, tips and techniques, Bon Appetit, Y'All seamlessly blends Willis’s Southern and French roots into a memorable and thoroughly modern cookbook.

Virginia Willis is a French-trained chef, food writer and television producer. She has worked with Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay and Nathalie Dupree, and her articles have appeared in Country Living, Family Fun, and Edible Atlanta. Visit www.virginiawillis.com for more information.
