SIDE ORDERS is celebrated food writer John Egerton's affectionate tribute to the "forever food" of Southern history: country ham and skillet-fried chicken, grits and black-eyed peas, cornbread and biscuits, pecan pie and blackberry cobbler, plus scores of other classic dishes and drinks. He has gathered recipes and anecdotes that range from the sea-level Cajun and Creole quarters of Louisiana to the mountain precints of the Ozarks and Appalachia, and from the ethnic ports of Florida to the landlocked country and soul-food enclaves of the Southern heartland.
