The recipes use inexpensive, readily available ingredients and come with instructive, encouraging directions.

From Pain Perdu, Pimento Hushpuppies, Corn Bisque, and Spicy Oven-Roasted Okra to Tomato and Bacon Sandwich with Chipotle Mayonnaise, Nashville Hot Chicken, Cajun Jambalaya, and Bacon-Latticed Apple Pie, there's something tasty for everyone.

Amber offers a pantry-full of time- and money-saving kitchen tips--from storing and freezing bacon to prolonging fresh berries in the fridge, seasoning cast-iron skillets, and making vanilla extract--and provides helpful do-ahead and leftover-saving tips for many recipes as well.

Grab a chair, sit down for a spell, and enjoy a taste of Southern life and food with For the Love of the South.

Wilson, Amber: - Amber Wilson was born in New York City in 1969. Amber is not one of those famous nutritionists who boast high academic titles. On the contrary, she is a normal person who decided to turn her life around and who faced all the adversities that every woman has to face in order to lose weight. Since childhood, Amber has always had a few extra pounds. After years of trying all sorts of diets, she realized that she wouldn't get results just by depriving herself of her favorite foods. The problem was strategic because, often, how we eat is more important than what we eat. So, after extensive research, she discovered Intermittent Fasting, which led her to achieve amazing results in a short amount of time, changing her eating habits forever. Amber currently works as a law clerk in Queens, NY, and is happily married with two wonderful little girls. Her mission is to help as many women as possible to face the path of weight loss in the most effective and natural way. Through Amber's pages, you'll find tips and strategies from those who have truly achieved great results, even when everything seemed to be going against them.
