The long-awaited cookbook from an immensely popular cooking blog.

Melissa Sperka learned to cook, like many people, from her mother and her grandmothers. For generations, her family made gathering around the kitchen table for meals an important part of every day—something to look forward to and cherish. She’s passing these values on to her own children, and to the many readers of her blog, Melissa’s Southern Style Kitchen. Sperka’s grandparents lived on the food they grew and harvested on their Virginia farmland. Her mother continued this tradition as her mother did before her, canning, freezing, and cooking fresh produce from her backyard garden. Everyone was welcome at the supper table: family, neighbors, and friends alike.  Pull up a chair, encourages Sperka, and become inspired to cook with recipes such as these:

• Puff Pastry-Wrapped Smokies


• Sweet-Tomato Glazed Meat Loaf


• Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken Spaghetti


• Granma's Famous Blueberry Icebox Pie


• Jalapeno Jepper Jack Corn Bread

This cookbook is a labor of love, paying homage to those who instilled in her a love for cooking and baking Southern-style. 

Sharing a meal around the table is the perfect expression of all things Southern: hospitality, grace, humor, and a devotion to great food.

These are the recipes that fill our memories of family and home, pull readers into the kitchen, and leave them fulfilled at the table.

Essays from well-known and much-loved Southerners--like Chick-Fil-A founder Truett S. Cathy and novelist Cassandra King--pepper the chapters with wisdom, humor, and insights gained from time spent at their own dining tables. Better yet, Around the Southern Table is filled with recipes for dishes that Southerners crave and cherish for everyday as well as special occasions. from mouthwatering main dishes like Shrimp and Grits or Stuffed Meatloaf to classic desserts like Lemon Pie or Pound Cake and Peach Ice Cream, every recipe tells a story, and, more importantly, is absolutely delicious. Each and every recipe is 100% homemade from-scratch and 100% Southern.
