Recipe Book Giveaway: No Taste Like Home

Photo Credit: Southern Living ©

I'm so happy to have the opportunity to review this recently released Southern Living cookbook, "No Taste Like Home." The beautiful part for you is, you have the opportunity to win a copy of your very own in a giveaway at the bottom of today's post. First, I want to share a recipe I cooked from the cookbook and highly recommend you add it to your own recipe collection — it is called "Uncle Kermit's Barbecued Cabbage."



All sorts of seasonal eats are featured and the book itself is based on a celebration of regional cooking and hometown flavor. Since I try to eat seasonally and cabbage is showing back up in the stores and farmers market, this recipe jumped out at me. The fact that I had to fire up the smoker also gave me an excuse to throw some ribs on! Had to do it.


Uncle Kermit's Barbecued Cabbage — Makes 6-8 servings
  • 5 cups of hickory wood chips
  • 1/2 cup of butter, softened
  • 1T table salt
  • 1t onion powder
  • 1t freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small head of green cabbage (about 3 1/2 pounds)
Soak wood chips in water at least 30 minutes. Prepare smoker according to manufacturer directions. Bring internal temperature to 225° and 250°, and maintain temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.


Combine butter, salt, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Core cabbage, carving out a good sized cavity. Stuff seasoned butter into cavity then wrap the cabbage in heavy-duty aluminum foil.


Drain wood chips, and place on coals. Place water pan in smoker, and add water to the depth of fill line. Place cabbage in the center of upper food rack; cover with smoker lid. Smoke 3 hours or until cabbage is tender, maintaining the temperature inside the smoker between 225° and 250°. Add additional water, charcoal, and wood chips as needed. Unwrap cabbage. Trim away any discard any blackened leaves, butter foam, or spice residue. Cut cabbage into wedges.

    The dish that cannot be left out of family celebrations is my grandmother's stuffing.
    I have a brother who lives out of the country and one Thanksgiving he was emailing me back and forth because he wanted to get the stuffing just right so his children would know what their great grandmother had taught us all.
