I AM FROM SAVANNAH, GEORGIA AND GREW UP EATING LOTS OF SEAFOOD AND SOUL FOOD. I'M SINGLE SO I DON'T HAVE A FAMILY TO COOK FOR, BUT I LOVE COOKIN FOR MY FRIENDS I LOVE SOUTHERN STYLE SOUL FOOD. BECAUSE SAVANNAH WAS A MAJOR SLAVE PORT, THERE ARE MANY AFRICAN INSPIRED LOCAL FAVORITES LIKE RED RICE, HOPPIN' JOHN,AND OKRA SOUP I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!! I'VE HAD SEVERAL, BUT IT HAS TO BE CATERING A WEDDING RECEPTION WITH LESS THAN 48 HOURS NOTICE. EVERY THING WAS GREAT. THE SAND CASTLE OF A CAKE I MADE LAST WEEK. I TRIED TO MODIFIY A RECIPE FOR A BUTTER CAKE AND IT WAS SOOOOO DRY. WILL DEFINATELY NOT TRY THAT AGAIN.
