Down-home fare
Southern cooking is the cuisine of the American South, characterized by dishes like fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, biscuits and gravy, grits, and barbecue.
It developed from African, Native American, and European influences, shaped by the region's agricultural history.
The style emphasizes comfort food, generous seasoning, and techniques like frying and slow-cooking: Nothing beats my grandmother's Southern cooking.
