Atlanta, Georgia

From the Civil War, through the Civil Rights movement, to its current unofficial title of "Capital of the New South," Atlanta has grown into one of the largest and most influential cities in the United States. The culinary traditions of Atlanta are greatly informed by its location in the heart of the American southeast, as well as its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its status as a destination for people relocating from Louisiana. Locals and visitors to Atlanta will have their choice of great barbeque, soul food, seafood, Cajun food, and Creole cuisine. Perhaps Atlanta's most notable contribution to the world of food and beverage came in 1886 when Dr. John S. Pemberton invented what has become the world's most popular soft drink, Coca-Cola.

About me:
My parents both worked when I was a kid so I was expected at an early age to get dinner going before they got home. I've always enjoyed cooking and basically had to teach myself. All of my recipes have been trial and error. I will not serve anything that I haven't tasted first. I became ill several years ago and had to quit my job. Since then, cooking has helped considerably and my cooking has dramatically improved. When I cook for class or church, I have folks lined up asking me what I brought. No joke. I love feeding folks!

Old Fashioned Paradise Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed on Dec. 1, 2008 by cookingqueen

Great recipe! I made it with just a couple of changes. I used Splenda for my diabetic husband. They now have a blend of brown sugar which is delicious! I used 4oz. more of cheese to help set the layer. The flavor was fantastic, and the layers turned out picture perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2008 by Lyndsey

This is a simply delicious and easy recipe. I definitely recommend this to first time pie makers. I made this for our first Thanksgiving at home and it turned out perfect. I will make this again!
