Virginia Willis’ acclaimed culinary masterpiece makes a return to audiences in this edited and refreshed version of “Bon Appétit, Y’all”, featuring new interpretations and insights on the original dishes alongside alternatives using healthier components. Over 200 traditional and contemporary recipes harmonize perfectly within this modern Southern cookbook.

The offspring and descendant of Southern chefs, Willis is also a formally trained French culinary expert and celebrated author. These diverse influences merge as this contemporary Southern chef honors her gastronomic heritage.

Embracing a philosophy that simplicity is key, Willis focuses on quality ingredients, emphasizes solid French techniques, and lets the food take center stage in a manner she describes as “refined Southern cuisine.” Approachable recipes are categorized by chapter into appetizers and bites; salads and slaws; egg and dairy dishes; main courses featuring poultry, seafood, and other meats; sides; biscuits and loaves; soups and stews; desserts; and sauces and preserves.

In addition to these recipes, readers will discover well-crafted tales, a plethora of tips and methods, and the insights of a distinguished culinary authority in American regional cuisine.
