Deep South Party Mix

Vegetables

This is my twist on party mix. Put a few bowls of these out, and you’ll make a lot of folks happy. Fry in small batches so the oil temperature doesn’t drop too severely resulting in a greasy finished product.

Ingredients

2 cups yellow Cornmeal

3 Tbsp Lawry’s Seasoning Salt

3 Tbsp lemon pepper seasoning

1 ¼ cup egg Wash (1 cup milk, 2 eggs)

1 /2 cup sliced jalapeños

1 /2 cup dill pickles slices

1 /2 cup sliced okra

1 /2 pound cleaned crawfish tails

Peanut Oil for frying

Instructions

Heat oil in cast iron skillet to 350 degrees.

Combine cornmeal, Lawry’s and lemon pepper.

Dredge jalapeños, pickles, okra and crawfish in egg wash, then in the cornmeal mixture. Carefully drop the fried items into the fryer in small batches. Fry until golden (about six minutes), remove, drain and serve.

Repeat the frying process until everything has been fried.

Serve immediately.

Yield: 2 cups

Chocolate Christmas Cheesecake

Chef Linda Roderick has been by my side through these cookbooks for over two decades, and there’s no one I’d rather have guiding me through a cheesecake recipe. She’s a master of the craft—steady, exacting, and always aiming for perfection. This rich, decadent chocolate cheesecake is no exception. It's all about balance. The deep, smooth chocolate filling meets a crisp, slightly salty crust for a perfect bite every time. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing—otherwise, you’ll end up with lumps. And when you melt the chocolate, give it time to cool slightly before mixing it into the batter, so you don’t end up with curdled filling. It’s worth the patience, every time. A few techniques can elevate this recipe to another level: chilling the dough overnight for a richer flavor, using a water bath to ensure an ultra-smooth texture, and letting the cheesecake rest for at least 24 hours before serving for the best flavor.

Harrison’s Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

Having a son who’s following in your footsteps is one thing. Watching him take what you’ve taught him and elevate it to something even better—that’s special. During his Christmas break from the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, New York, a few years ago, he nudged me out of the way and made these mashed potatoes. I was skeptical, of course as I’ve been making mashed potatoes for decades. But there was no question his version was better. There’s a lot of pride in seeing him excel in the kitchen, making something as simple as mashed potatoes taste extraordinary. This recipe has become a new tradition in our family. Watching him cook now, with all that skill and precision, is a proud moment for me every time. This is his recipe, and I’ve adopted it as my own.

Macaroni and Cheese

Growing up, elaborate mac & cheese wasn’t something that made its way to our dinner table. That’s not some sort of elitist statement. We grew up in a very modest way. It’s just that macaroni and cheese was something my mom never purchased at the store and therefore never served. This recipe is rich and indulgent with a blend of cheeses that create a creamy, savory masterpiece. Adding crispy fried shallots or crumbled bacon to the breadcrumb topping gives it a savory, satisfying crunch. The blend of cheeses—Velveeta for creaminess, Gruyere for nuttiness, Cheddar for sharpness, and Colby Jack for that buttery melt—makes all the difference.
