Mississippi

The Magnolia State is a Deep South state situated along the Gulf Coast between Louisiana and Alabama. When viewed on a map, Mississippi’s western border looks something like the metal edge of a spiral notebook, all squiggly lines the result of a meandering Mississippi River gently looping its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the world’s most fertile soil is found in the Mississippi Delta, a rich alluvial plain between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers in northwest Mississippi. Historically, the delta has been a prime area for growing sugar, rice, cotton, and soybeans. Mississippi shares with Louisiana a history of Creole cooking and some French influence, particularly in the cooking of the affluent. But it is Mississippi’s flavorful, down-home cooking that takes the prize, including ribs and beans, cornbread, turnip greens, fried catfish and hushpuppies, and Mississippi mud pie.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by LODOM42

This was perfect! Not too cheesy, just right! I only had one potato and was cooking just for me and my daughter so I rescaled the measurements and it was the perfect amount. I also boiled the potatoes and sauteed the onion in olive oil ahead of time because of time constraints. Thanks for the recipe!

Maple Roast Turkey

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by wisweetp

The compound butter is very good, so it gets 4 stars for that part. I didn't have marjoram and subbed with fresh parsley, and I did not use the lemon peel. I used a turkey breast and while it was very moist, I didn't think the butter flavor came through at all except in the skin, which I don't like, unfortunately. I'll definitely keep the recipe for the butter, but I think I'll find other uses for it.
