This cookbook is dedicated to the truth that southerners are just as skilled and generous with the snack as they are with their bounteous, overflowing meals. In seventy-seven recipes that range from classic to contemporary, Perre Coleman Magness embraces the southern approach to snacking, including all the small bites you'll need for any event, whether a football game, a party, or, if things are looking down, a funeral. Many of the recipes are inspired by southern community cookbooks, home cooks, and chefs who put new twists on southern flavors. Highlighting local ingredients and traditional techniques, these snacks--from Fried Dill Pickles with Delta Comeback Sauce to Louisiana's Natchitoches Meat Pies and Charleston's Benne Wafers--shine a light on the diversity of regionally distinct southern cuisine. The contemporary recipes work ingeniously with familiar southern ingredients, from Field Pea Hummus and Country Ham Pate to Smoked Catfish Spread and Sweet Tea Pecans. The recipes are enriched with delightful stories and lore, along with thirty-six lush color photographs. Getting together with friends and family? You will never arrive empty-handed again.

I asked for this book because I wanted to know what snacks beyond boiled peanuts and crayfish bites are "southern" snacks. Ms Magness, who grew up in Memphis, has made a particular study of Junior League and church recipe books from around the region. To collect these books she has travelled and eaten her way across Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Delta. She presents her reminiscences of growing up with southern snacks, her travel experiences, and her versions of the classic recipes in this small cookbook.
I don't think her effort is a success. Some of the recipes are recipes from 1950s packaged foods and are not southern in any way. The "Field Pea Hummus" is essentially the instructions off a package of dried white beans that I have in my recipe folder. The selection of recipes and order of presentation is not particularly creative. The prose can be awkward and ungrammatical.
A small handful of interesting recipes does not make up for many pages of ordinary stuff that is similar to ideas found anywhere online.
I am looking at an ARC and so I can't be sure how the final version will turn out, but the photos in front of me are not very appealing, with poor contrast and no vibrancy. Some of the dips look gray, which is not good. There are lots of photos at the beginning (dips and spreads and too many corn chips) but by the time you get to the seafood and meats chapters the photos are few and far between. There is no accompanying photo of "tamales" which are a version of Swedish meatballs that have nothing to do with real tamales (just as the "mangoes" where I come from have no relation to real mangoes).
I don't think this book will satisfy any cravings for snacks or for southern food.
I received a review copy of "Southern Snacks: 77 Recipes for Small Bites with Big Flavors" by Perre Coleman Magness (University of North Carolina Press) through NetGalley.com. (
