From Atlanta’s legendary Southern restaurant, “a homey 125-recipes-with-stories cookbook” filled with photos, history, and “just plain funny tales” (Booklist).
In Mary Mac’s Tea Room, author and owner John Ferrell brings together classic recipes from this venerable institution of Southern comfort food.
When Mary Mac’s opened in 1945, it was one of sixteen tea rooms around Atlanta, Georgia. Today, it stands alone in carrying on the tradition of bringing great Southern cooking to everyone from blue collar workers to celebrities.
Now you can bring home many of the restaurant’s famed recipes, from Cranberry Pecan Salad to Peach Buttermilk Pancakes to Fried Okra and Country Ham with Redeye Gravy and many more—in this cookbook richly illustrated with photography, old menus, postcards, and artwork from its magnificent history.
