Colonel Beauregard Cracker's Southern Kitchen: Recipes and Tall Tales of The South

Book Overview
Colonel Beauregard Cracker’s Southern Kitchen is a fictional recipe book that provides original recipes of the South during the 1860’s. It’s a totally fabricated story that has never been shared before. The book describes Beauregard’s exploits during the American Civil War in great detail, but is more than just culinary escapades as it is chock full of recipes and anecdotes of his unique observations on the war.
Colonel Beauregard Cracker, a totally fabricated character's perspective was, to put it mildly, unorthodox. He saw the war through the lens of a cook, a provider, a man obsessed with nourishing weary souls. He argued that the Confederacy lost not because of strategy, but because they ran out of sugar for the pecan pie.
Of course, the book is filled with inaccuracies, exaggerations, and fabrications of Beauregard, a master storyteller who had a knack for embellishing the truth. He claimed that his Chicken Fried Steak caused hundreds of Union soldiers to surrender and claimed that even Major General William T. Sherman asked for a helping of the Colonel’s Chicken Fried Steak and buttermilk biscuits.
