On Amazon, you won’t be charged until it ships and should the price lower, you’ll pay that lower price You’ll be the first to see the book when it ships!
I have been dreaming of sharing the cover and details of the book with you for over a year, and I’m so excited for you to see it. I wrote the book alongside my mother (Phronsie Dial) who is the quintessential Southern hostess. Creating a cookbook full of Southern recipes and entertaining tips is truly a dream project us!
This book is my largest to date with over 75 recipes perfectly suited for year-round entertaining with Southern charm. You’ll find entertaining tips and tablescape inspiration throughout the 200+ pages. Discover modern twists on classics and beloved heirloom recipes from my family’s favorite recipes.
Nashville food photographer Kyle Dreier (who photographed two of my early books, Push-Up Pops and Frostings) photographed this book for me, and he is a magician behind the camera!
All of our team put our heart and soul into the pages of this book (blood, sweat and tears), and we couldn’t be more thrilled for you to see the cover and learn more about the book.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Serve up classics and new favorites from a Southern perspective.
In The Southern Entertainer’s Cookbook, Courtney Whitmore shares her party go-tos, from appetizers and salads to entrees, drinks and desserts. In addition to sharing modern twists on classics and beloved heirloom recipes from her family’s cookbooks (not to worry, no archaic methods or hard-to-find ingredients here), Courtney provides tips throughout to make the most of your gathering: try embellishing a plate with edible flower petals or create mini versions of a well-known dessert.
Courtney continues to be a trusted resource for creating delicious, party-friendly food to enhance any meal and every party. Consider this the only Southern cookbook primer you need.
If there is nothing on the inside pages, the cover will sell the book. I am so happy for you. Best Wishes.
