The Heirloomed Kitchen: Made-From-Scratch Recipes to Gather Around for Generations
"Fans of Ree Drummond's 'Pioneer Woman' culinary brand and Jill Winger's 'Prairie Homestead' books will find Schoenith's charming debut to be an equally beguiling introduction to cooking good old-fashioned food and living a simpler life."--Library Journal
"The Heirloomed Kitchen is a beautiful, inspiring cookbook marked by warm Southern hospitality and nostalgia for days gone by."--Foreword Reviews
Ashley Schoenith's The Heirloomed Kitchen: Made-from-Scratch Recipes to Gather Around for Generations takes us back to our grandmother's kitchen with enticing aromas and made-from-scratch meals cooked with love.
This carefully curated cookbook with nostalgic-style photography beautifully presents the food while also showcasing heirloom cookware, serving vessels and utensils, and the gracious gentility of Southern hospitality. The recipes are slow-paced and packed with family memories taken from those splattered, handwritten recipe cards passed down from mother to child to grandchild.
The 100 plus recipes, along with elegant photography, bring you to the table for family meals with breakfasts, appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, sides, desserts, special holiday gatherings, and, of course, classic drinks for the cocktail hour. You'll find Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits, Fried Green Tomatoes, Chicken and Dumplings, St. George Island Shrimp and Grits, Cornmeal-Fried Okra, Banana Pudding Cups, Wild Strawberry Shortcakes, Derby Mint Juleps, and Back Porch Sun Tea all calling you to the dining room for food, family, and memory making.

With its elegant design and exquisite vintage-style photography, this cookbook stands out for its visual appeal alone. A legacy of love, its pages are dedicated to preserving cherished memories of gentler times, when family and friends gathered around the table to share stories and enjoy meals that nourished their bodies and souls. Brief vignettes bring cherished memories to life, enhanced by photographs of country settings and nature-themed decorations. The recipes for sunrise-to-sunset meal planning include appetizers, soups and salads, main and accompanying dishes, sauces and condiments, candies and desserts, and classic drinks. Typical Southern fare is highlighted with recipes for Fried Green Tomatoes, Collard Greens with Applewood Bacon, and Cornmeal-Fried Okra. These classics appear alongside unusual and intriguing dishes, like Brie, Sausage, and Sage Casserole and Saint George Island Shrimp and Grits. The desserts include a tasty twist on traditional bread pudding with the addition of bourbon and Vintage Stamped-Glass Cookies that come with an invitation to adventure onto a hunt for the perfect vintage drinking glasses with which to stamp and bake the sweets. In the holiday spirit, a jar of homemade White Cheddar and Herb Pimiento Cheese coupled with crisp crackers would make a lovely gift. An added benefit of this cookbook is that it's accessible to aspiring cooks. It defines the terms used; gives clear instructions in basic kitchen skills, from making a roux to cleaning cast iron pots and pans; lists the essentials for a well-stocked pantry; and recommends necessary kitchen tools, serving implements, china, silverware, and glassware.
