Frances Schultz collaborated with the talented chef Stephanie Valentine to develop the recipes for California Cooking and Southern Style (Skyhorse, 2019). That doesn’t mean it takes a chef to prepare them. Frances told us her criteria for the book was that every recipe had to be accessible, super reliable, and “99 percent of the ingredients you can get at the Piggly Wiggly in Tarboro” (the North Carolina town where she grew up).
Enjoy!
