Introduction It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Sheila and I teamed up to pen the first book in the State Hometown Cookbook Series—Tennessee Hometown Cookbook. Since then, the series has grown to include editions for Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, West Virginia, and now Alabama. Each book in the series has been a joy to write as we learn about each unique state and get to know the people. Alabama Hometown Cookbook will always hold a special place in my heart. Shortly after we began work on the book my mother Arleta Whitaker—born in Wylam, Alabama— suddenly fell ill then passed away just before Thanksgiving. Soon after, my dad suddenly passed days before Christmas. Just weeks before we lost her, I was working with Mom discovering recipes for dishes from my childhood. Reading the recipes in hand was like coming home and I had a promise from Mom to dig out more on my next visit. She kept her promise. When my brothers and I were sorting through her kitchen, we found where she had gathered several more Alabama recipes as well as the recipe box from her parents’ house in Wylam. Creating a cookbook takes time and patience. When I started the book, Mom was fully able to help me with recipes and stories. I continued to compile the book over the period of Mom and Dad getting sick to their passing. As I finished the book, we were settling their estate. Alabama Hometown Cookbook has been an emotional two years in the making with every dish opening a memory. I found, though, as the recipes flowed—from my brothers, cousins, extended family and friends—the book became a vehicle for my healing. Sheila and I received many great recipes from people across the state. In addition to recipes from my family, many came from my wife Ally’s mom, Joan Nagem, and family from Auburn and Opelika. Sheila’s ties to Alabama—her grandparents had a house in Birmingham for many years eventually moving permanently to a beautiful place on the Coosa River surrounded on three sides by water—meant a number of recipes were submitted by her family. As with other books in the series, many other cooks across the state sent us their favorite recipes. Each state has a culinary heritage that creates one slice in the pie of our nation’s culinary history. Alabama is no different. You can certainly expect to enjoy some good, old-fashioned cooking with recipes for Mom’s Shortbread, Summer Cucumber Dip and Plate Licking Meatloaf. Bloomin’ Onion Bread, Barbecue Shrimp and Dreamsicle Cheesecake on your table will bring you raves from your family. From Daytona Chicken to Southern Tea Cookies, Jalapeño Popper Chili to Summer Strawberry Pie, Pepper Jelly Cheese Straws to Honey Tomatoes and Goat Cheese to Loaded Shepherd’s Pie, you will discover excellent recipes for new creations as well as those that have been handed down for generations. This book wouldn’t be possible without the help of many people. I dedicate this book to my mother Arleta Campbell Whitaker of Wylam, as well as my dad Eli M. Whitaker. Dad may have been a Mississippi boy, but he introduced me to fishing off Orange Beach and Magnolia Springs. Mom and Dad spent countless summers traveling the great state of Alabama with three young boys in the station wagon. Thank you to our Great American team forever supporting our efforts—Brooke Craig and Diane Rothery, Krista Griffin, Amber Feiock, Tory Hackett, Anita Musgrove, Sheree Smith, Christy Kent Campbell, Pam Larson, Jennifer Coley, Cyndi Clark and Gennell Goodman. Plus a special thanks to Pam Edwards for your organization and research, and to Nichole Stewart for your new passion for design. Sheila and I could never do what we do without the support of our spouses. Thank you Allyson Whitaker and Roger Simmons. Our sincerest thank you goes to the people of Alabama who shared their recipes, their stories and information about their food festivals… always with patience and southern hospitality. It is our sincere wish that you will find a delicious representation of Alabama the Beautiful in this heartfelt journey through the state. And, as always, we give you an armchair traveler’s view of the state while you cook. You will find fun-to-read profiles sprinkled throughout the book about the interesting food festivals you may visit in Alabama. Visit Franklin County – the Watermelon Capital of Alabama – for the Watermelon Festival in Russellville or, if fish and shrimp better suit your taste, don’t miss the Orange Beach Seafood Festival. The Alabama Rural Heritage Foundation and the community of Thomaston, bring us the Pepper Jelly Festival celebrating that region’s favorite food, and the Alabama Blueberry Festival brings people converging on downtown historic Brewton. From Hippy’s Big Butt BBQ Bash to the Poke Salat Festival to the Alabama Butterbean Festival, Alabama offer’s family fun for everyone. Happy Cooking
