Momma Dean's Southern Cooking

Just off one of the busiest intersections, and well inside the city limits of Hattiesburg, MS, is a two-room, dogtrot cabin nestled amidst hundred year old cedars and crepe myrtle trees. Coming from the kitchen and permeating throughout the air are the smells of southern cooking at its best. Meador Homestead is a place of the past, filled with memories of a family who lived with hopes in their tomorrows and lots of love for each other. That is what this book is all about; a way for you to experience over one hundred years in the life of a simple family, their way of living, and the food they loved to eat. The stories are told through Smith's eyes as a granddaughter and her love for the family who lived on this hill. The food is what they grew up eating in the south, and the menus created tie history of the family with special times they have had and continue to have at Meador Homestead. Pictures in the book visually tie the stories and food together, inviting you to enjoy this tiny southern piece of heaven. Each menu is filled with Southern-eating tradition. This book is for you to enjoy those special times in life with family and friends. Eat, Drink, and Make Memories!
