Ivy Odom Just Wrote the Next Great Southern Cookbook
Manage episode 506651369 series 2787342
Ivy Odom has in many ways become the face of Southern Living. In addition to creating videos about all things Southern on social media, Ivy is a writer, recipe developer, and television host. And now she’s also an author, with a brand new cookbook called My Southern Kitchen: From Suppers to Celebrations, Recipes for Every Occasion. The book is a collection of Ivy’s favorites from a lifetime at the stove, starting with her childhood in Moultrie, Georgia, where she learned to cook and entertain from her parents and grandparents. She actually started off her college years thinking she’d be a home ec teacher, but an early mentor persuaded her to look at culinary school and food media as a better fit for her ambitions. She finished first in her class at L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and then, thankfully, she landed here at Southern Living. Sid sat down with Ivy in the Southern Living offices and talked about all that, plus her Dad’s competition barbecue team called Butts Unlimited, her love of tailgating for the Georgia Bulldogs, and the astounding 18-layer chocolate cake that launched her career.
