Tip # 187: Be professional on Facebook, MySpace, and other relevant social networking websites. Agents and publishers are there, too, and they do not need to know about last night (unless you were on NPR last night).

Long before Virginia Willis attended the prestigious French cooking school École de Cuisine La Varenne, she began shelling butterbeans alongside her mother and grandmother in their Georgia family kitchen. In BON APPETIT, Y'ALL, Virginia's passionate homage to the cooking of the South is informed by these divergent influences. From simple starters and slaws to generous entrées and desserts, Willis makes down-home cooking refined and haute cuisine friendly, with recipes like Vidalia Onion Soup with Bacon Flan, Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mama's Barbecue Sauce, Fried Catfish Fingers with Country Rémoulade, and Hot Vanilla Soufflés with Vanilla Ice Cream. Brimming with stories, tips, techniques, and gorgeous photographs, BON APPETIT, Y'ALL seamlessly blends Willis' Southern and French roots into a memorable and thoroughly modern cookbook.
