No matter if it's for everyday meal prep or special event entertaining, a southern gourmet kitchen is designed for quality meals and impressive guests. Equipped with top-of-the-line appliances such as warming drawers, frying stations and built-in coffee makers; as well as granite, marble or stainless steel countertops as countertop choices; its design provides quality meals at any occasion!
Southern climate fosters an abundance of local ingredients that chefs incorporate into their culinary creations. Heirloom tomatoes and collard greens bring texture and flavor, while sweet corn, fruits, and honey add natural sweetness into soups, stews, desserts, or baked goods such as biscuits or cornbread to elevate classic dishes with moist yet flaky delight. Baking has always been at the core of Southern cooking.
Squash casserole is an iconic Southern side dish, serving at everything from meat-and-three diners to church covered-dish suppers. While usually made with yellow squash, its flexible recipe easily adapts to whatever seasonal vegetables may be available. Brunswick stew is another comforting classic; its name comes from Brunswick Town in Virginia where this stew originated; though every cook may have their own take on what goes into its creation, most agree on corn, butter or lima beans, tomatoes as essential components.
Southern desserts make an elegant finish to any meal, featuring signature flavors like pecans and peaches. Pecan pie features an irresistibly sticky buttery filling topped with flaky crust - the epitome of warm Southern cooking! Additionally, New Orleans deep-fried pastry dusted with powdered sugar (beignets) pair beautifully with chicory-laced cafe au lait drinks for an irresistibly sweet snack experience.
