As friends, family and fans of her last cookbook know, you don’t leave Trisha Yearwood’s home hungry. The book’s practical recipes, personal anecdotes and delicious depictions of the hearty fare you’ll find at Yearwood family gatherings make Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood yet another user-friendly cookbook that reads like notes from a friend. Written with her mom, Gwen Yearwood, and sister, Beth Yearwood Bernard, Trisha focuses on recipes culled from recent gatherings and shared meals, and the stories behind them that feature her extended family and close circle of friends. Trisha will help you figure out what delicious food to bring when you're invited to a supper, picnic, or party.

Readers will find great Southern meals with one-pot dishes, pastas, salads, refreshments, desserts, and more, including: Garth's Breakfast Bowl; Cowboy Lasagna; Cornbread Salad with French Dressing; Vegetable Pie; Spice Cake with Lemon Sauce and Grandma Yearwood’s Coconut Cake. Whether cooking for a group or a quiet night in, HOME COOKING WITH TRISHA YEARWOOD is an indispensable collection of easy recipes, a tribute to Southern hospitality, and an intimate look into good times with Trisha Yearwood.

For the country star who has earned rarified status as a renowned vocalist, her newfound acclaim as an author has been a sweet surprise. Shortly after her last cookbook, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen was released in April of 2008, it hit the New York Times Bestseller list…and returned again later that summer at the height of grilling season!
