What is Southern Cooking? Some call it the foundations of many American dishes, while others point out how it brings the best traditions from around the world into a melting pot of tastes and unusual staples. This cookbook brings together the best recipes from the tiny town of Hurley Beach, North Carolina.

Some people may know Hurley Beach from the writings of Keith Sink's Hurley Beach Cozy Mysteries. A small coastal town surrounded by strange characters who enjoy their food, their quaint traditions, and their family comradery.

Have you ever wondered how to make Fried Green Tomatoes, Hush Puppies, or Brunswick Stew? Author Keith Sink shares with you in this volume over fifty of his favorite recipes from North Carolina.
