Welcome to Old Southern Recipes

Jan 1, 2011 Gary Henry Welcome

Welcome to my table! Old Southern Recipes is about traditional southern cooking, your grandmother’s down-home foodways. Let’s call it soul food. In addition to recipes, you’ll find some great southern restaurants and southern cookbooks. This part of the American folk tradition is passing away. So pull up a chair and dig in! — Gary Henry
