Back Home with The Neelys ─ Comfort Food from Our Southern Kitchen to Yours

The third cookbook from Food Network superstars Pat and Gina Neely brings us back to the basics of good ol' southern family cooking.

Pat and Gina Neely are known for a few things, among them: food and family. In their third cookbook, the best-selling Neely couple returns to their down home roots with classic Southern recipes passed down through generations. Through recipes framed by childhood memories, we're drawn into the kitchens of their mothers and grandmothers and back to a time when produce came from the backyard garden and catfish was caught on afternoon fishing trips with Grandpa. In their signature style, Pat and Gina have taken the recipes they were raised on and updated them to make them more approachable for today's readers. They share 105 recipes, including Small Batch Strawberry Jam (best when eaten with Mama Daisy's Buttermilk and Cream Biscuits), Bourbon French Toast, Crunchy Fried Okra, Grilled Succotash, Skillet Roasted Chicken, and Mama Rena's Brunswick Stew.

Pat and Gina Neely are restaurateurs, best-selling authors, popular speakers, and hosts of the Food Network hit series Down Home with the Neelys. They recently opened their first New York City restaurant, Neely's Barbecue Parlor. They live with their daughters in Memphis, where they enjoy cooking at home with family and friends.
