The engaging and downright hilarious author of Deep South Staples returns with an irresistible guide to entertaining, Southern-style.

Southern cooks are known as some of the best, most welcoming hosts in the world, setting out spreads filled with hearty, homey, and heavenly fare, enough to feed an army. And no Southerner knows how to entertain better than Robert St.John, chef, food columnist, and bon vivant extraordinaire. In Deep South Parties, he puts his own twist on cooking for a crowd, showing readers which recipes work best for which occasions, how to entertain large groups with ease, how to throw the liveliest holiday parties in town, and much more.
