Debbie Moose's Southern Holidays is a cook's celebration of the richly diverse holiday traditions of today's South. Covering big traditional holidays such as Christmas and Mardi Gras, this must-have addition to the Savor the South® cookbook collection also branches out into regional and cultural holidays that honor newer southern traditions, including recipes from real cooks hailing from a range of ethnic traditions and histories. The cooks' stories accompanying the recipes show how holiday foods not only hold cherished personal family memories but also often have roots in a common past that ties families together in a shared southern history.
The cookbook's inclusive culinary vision is organized by the four seasons to mark the progress of the year. Featuring seventeen holidays and fifty recipes, it includes such classics as Coconut King Cake for Mardi Gras and Smoky Red Rice for Juneteenth, as well as southern twists on time-honored delicacies, from Cajun-Style Rice Dressing for Thanksgiving to Sweet Potato Latkes for Hanukkah. Southern Holidays also highlights how international holiday dishes have been adopted in the region over time, from Moravian Sugar Cake for Christmas to Vietnamese Spring Rolls for the coastal South's Blessing of the Fleet.

      Any excuse for a party is Moose's philosophy. Author of Buttermilk (2012) in the same series, Savor the South Cookbooks, she digs into holidays with zest, including not only the standards for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving but also those for Epiphany (which she calls Old Christmas), peach festivals, and the Shalom Y'all Jewish Food Festival in Savannah. For every celebration, at least two dishes are featured, each with a southern twist. There's a Cajun-style rice dressing for the turkey, ShaloMein (a peculiarly Jewish-Chinese concoction), and even Sephardic matzo lasagna, substituting unleavened bread for traditional noodles, for Passover. The running commentary is engaging, and the directions usually run about half a page. Maybe someone will follow her lead and declare March Madness a national holiday.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
