Field Peas to Foie Gras: Southern Recipes with a French Accent (Cookbook Review)

November 7, 2016 By Joi Sigers

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

Field Peas to Foie Gras
As I mentioned in my last cookbook review, I know they’re coming hot and heavy, but there are just so many to tell you about right now! I’m quickening my pace simply because these cookbooks would make excellent (and much-appreciated) gift ideas for the cooks in your life.

What’s more, cookbooks like the beauty pictured here (Field Peas to Foie Gras) will serve you beautifully with the upcoming holidays. The Southern recipes in this cookbook will make Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Years… and the entire year that follows even more delicious. I’ve already bookmarked the Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie (page 159) and Cranberry Orange Relish (page 20) for Thanksgiving and the Black-Eyed Pea Salad will be a fresh and delicious way to ensure good luck on New Year’s Day!

I also bookmarked the Blackberry Cobbler to make as soon as absolutely possible!

Field Peas to Foie Gras by Chef Jennifer Hill Booker features delicious recipes that are simple to make, with clear instructions and everyday ingredients.  It is not, obviously, a “Gluten Free” cookbook, per se. I only point this out because I do a lot of gluten free cookbook reviews. Some of the recipes are, by nature, already gluten free, but

It is, however, perfectly easy to substitute the non-gluten-free ingredients with gluten-free ingredients. With all of the gluten free flours on the market today, it’s simply not the issue it once was!

Thank goodness because I can’t wait to try ALL of these recipes!

Some of the recipes Include:

  • Frost Plum Jelly
  • Peaches in Syrup
  • Spiced Pear Preserves
  • Red Hot Pepper Relish
  • Pickled Tarragon Eggs
  • Green Tomato Cha Cha
  • Gram’s Coleslaw
  • Baked Tomatoes
  • Pan-Fried ‘Taters & Spring Onions
  • Buttermilk Cornbread
  • Applesauce & Fried Ham Steak
  • Barbecue Spareribs
  • Dry-Rubbed Smoked Pork Shoulder
  • Fried Grizzards
  • Pan-Fried Round Steaks & Brown Gravy
  • Roasted Chicken & Dumplings
  • Deep-Fried Mississippi Catfish
  • Roasted Turkey – With everything you need to know to cook the perfect Thanksgiving turkey.
  • Sage & Cornbread Stuffing
  • Giblet Gravy
  • Meringue Cookies
  • Coconut Christmas Cake
  • Many, many more!

Field Peas to Foie Gras

The awesome recipes are accompanied by absolutely gorgeous pictures. The food makes you want to dive right it and I absolutely love the pictures of the author and her 2 beautiful daughters and 1 beautiful niece. Being a mom to daughters makes me, “Awwww” anytime I see other people’s daughters.

You’re going to love Jennifer Hill Booker and her amazing recipes. You’ll be like me and find yourself wanting more from her! When I finished reading through the cookbook, my first thought was, “Why don’t you have your own cooking show on the Cooking Channel or Food Network?!”

I guarantee you’ll love everything about this beautiful cookbook. It’s a perfect salute to Southern cooking and what makes is so unforgettable.
