From the Georgia restaurateur, Southern recipes that will make friends and family ask for more—includes color photos!
Those two little words "second helpings" hold so much meaning. Asking for second helpings means that your food is good enough to ask for more. This cookbook comprises special recipes that Johnnie Gabriel has time- and taste-tested, and they've gotten the "second-helping approval stamp" many times over. She draws from her personal collection of Southern favorites throughout more than twenty years of professional bakery and restaurant experience, alongside the menu mainstays of her closest friends, family members, and restaurant industry pals—sharing such scrumptious recipes as:

Black Eyed Pea Spread

Shrimp Creole

Smoky Chipotle Grilled Baby Back Ribs

Strawberry Layer Crème Pie

Chicken, Goat Cheese, and Cranberry Wrap

Fried Okra, Tempura Style—and many more

This Georgia lady knows a thing or two about pleasing a crowd of hungry Southerners—and these recipes weren't concocted in a glass-walled test kitchen. Second Helpings features time-tested meals that have nourished and comforted families at tables across the South for decades. Second helpings all around? Inevitable!
