Whatever an event's raison d'etre, a dinner on the grounds is filled with the classic elements of Southern culture--freshly cultivated food, family tradition, heirlooms, laughter and stories, all enjoyed in an outdoor venue.
James T. Farmer III presents a collection of menus with mouthwatering recipes for every occasion, from traditional country church-hosted homecomings to lavish southern weddings, while reminding us that the art of grand Southern entertaining is not that each event need be grand, but that they are all grandly presented with style and confidence rooted in a heritage of hospitality.
