This cookbook is a love letter to those whose hearts sing loudest int he kitchen.

Comfort food is an unforgettable, powerful expression of love. A single bite of potato salad can transport s back to a warm 4th of July where we stood with friends and family close by, watching fireworks explode in the sky.

These recipes are more than simple and delicious step-by-step meals to impress. They are memories in the making with every bite, precious moments yet to be made.

A great meal should be carefully orchestrated and lovingly planned by filling the air with heavenly smells of fresh bread and baked chicken coming from a warm oven. Wow them with a beautifully set table. Showcase visions of what's to come with an array of decadent desserts artfully displayed nearby. It's more than just comfort food. It's your love language in full bloom.

This cookbook is designed for anyone who may need a little extra mama hand holding along the way. It is for those who passionately long to create the kind of "Southern Yum" experience that is sure to inspire timeless memories that fill the soul and leave them coming back for more.

You've got this darlin'.

Bon Appetite ya'll!

"May you bask in the joy you create

With every Southern Yum morsel on their plate."

Blessings,

Michele E. Mathews
