Praise for Whitney Miller’s New Southern Table “Whitney’s God-given ability to cook can only be matched by her incredible desire to serve others. For five years, Whitney has faithfully dedicated her time and talent in support of my foundation and the children we serve around the world. It has been a blessing to see the joy she brings through the gifts she has been given, and now we can all enjoy the recipes that I have seen bless everyone from firefighters to W15H children!” —Tim Tebow “Whitney Miller has brought southern cuisine to life in her second cookbook, Whitney Miller’s New Southern Table. She keeps it simple for the home cook with approachable recipes that embody the true hospitality of a southern family.” —emeril lagasse “I just love Whitney’s approach to southern food! Reading her fond memories of growing up in the South is like flipping through the pages of a family scrap- book. Through Whitney’s eyes, we taste ‘Sunday Dinners,’ ‘Family Suppers,’ and the anticipation of ‘Company Coming.’ Page after page we savor memo- ries of family, food, and community tables, things we all hold so dear. Whitney reminds us through her recipes, stories, and photographs that in every small town and country farm, the love of food and family endures. Congratulations, Whitney, on your New Southern Table. What a treasure!” —Chef John folse NewSouthernTable.indd 1 7/30/15 3:45 PM NewSouthernTable.indd 2 7/30/15 3:45 PM Whitne y Miller’s new southern table My Favorite FaMily recipes with a Modern twist Whitney Miller NewSouthernTable.indd 3 7/30/15 3:45 PM © 2015 by Whitney Miller Photos © 2015 Thomas Nelson All rights reserved.

In my South, there doesn’t have to be an occasion or special event for an invitation to share a meal at the family table. Southern hospitality knows no season. Having grown up in a family where it was not unusual to have thirty to forty people for Sunday dinner, I learned at an early age how to cook enough to share. Since the release of my first cookbook, Modern Hospitality, I have been blessed with opportunities to travel not only throughout the United States but internationally as well. I have shared my Southern family table in China, South Africa, and Malaysia. And I have learned that hospitality and fellowship over good food are enjoyed throughout the world. My hospitality roots run deep. Having learned from my mom and great- grandmother Strahan how to cook for a few or a crowd, I often cook a large meat entrée such as a roast, pork loin, or whole chicken on the weekend, plenty for family as well as any unexpected guests. This simple act not only reconnects me to warm memories of the past, but also works well for modern times, allowing me to plan a week’s menu in advance. Adding favorite vegetable side dishes from my roots brings to the table happy memories of my great- grandmother McCarter, a sure forerunner of the farm-to-table movement.
