A Time to Cook: Dishes From My Southern Sideboard

New twists on traditional Southern favorites

Southern food is more than cornbread, biscuits, and fried chicken. James Farmer revamps the menu with his own twists on traditional Southern dishes (ergo, Peach and Pecan Chicken Salad, Collard Cole Slaw, Plum and Persimmon Pork Tenderloin). Stitched together with a combination of tradition and nostalgia, Farmer's dishes are updated for today's lifestyle without sacrificing the scrumptious delight that is the hallmark of traditional Southern cuisine, all using what is fresh and best, gleaned from the land and garden and steeped in heritage.
