Southern Recipes

This is a personal collection of southern recipes, some of which came from southern friends, others of my own creation based on southern-style cooking and typical ingredients. I moved to North Carolina years ago and discovered that many southern foods are very similar to my family's Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes and a few are identical. That is not so surprising because the heritage of both cultures is deeply rooted in farming. However, each region has some of its own unique ingredients and methods. I have included a section for recipes shared by contributors. If you have a favorite to add, send it to TerisKitchen.com. There are many other choices in the Recipes, Features and Resources Index that would be appropriate for this page, but it is my intention to list only traditional southern or southern-style dishes. I hope you will enjoy southern cooking with these recipes as much as this transplanted northerner.
