Larry and I attended Off Square Book’s Thacker Mountain Radio production last week, where Martha Hall Foose read from her new cookbook, A Southerly Course . Martha’s first cookbook, Screen Doors & Sweet Tea , garnered her a James Beard Award! Both books are delightful reads, as Martha includes tales about her family and our beloved state of Mississippi, along with, of course, great recipes and gorgeous photos. If you haven’t obtained copies of Martha’s cookbooks yet, I highly recommend you do so. Autographed copies are available at Square/Off Square Books in Oxford . For those of you familiar with our area, Martha, a French culinary school trained pastry chef, opened the Bottle Tree Bakery in Oxford and the Mockingbird Bakery in Greenwood. Martha's other credentials include being a former executive chef of the Greenwood Viking Cooking School and serving as the food stylist for the movie The Help , which is based on the novel of the same name. Congratualtions to Martha! We Miss
