<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Collection of recipes from the restaurant and families of Stephanie Tyson and Vivian Joiner.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Well, Shut My Mouth! The Sweet Potatoes Restaurant Cookbook</em> is recipes--recipes from the restaurant, recipes from the families of chef Stephanie Tyson and co-owner Vivian Joiner, recipes that are Southern, plain and simple. In creating the recipes for Sweet Potatoes, Tyson used all of her influences Geechee flavor from Joiner's father, who was from the Hilton Head area of South Carolina; her mother's working-woman "out of the can and into the pan" shortcuts; and her training in culinary arts at Baltimore International College and her later work in South Carolina, the Florida Keys, Arizona, and Maryland. Just the names of the recipes in this book are enough to whet one's appetite: Pimento Cheese Fondue; Sweet Potato, Corn, and Country Ham Risotto; Gullah Shrimp and Crab Pilau; Slow Cooker Chocolate Stout Pot Roast; Down-Home 'Tata Salad; Molasses Dijon Dressing; Sweet Potato Bread Pudding with Pecan Crunch Topping; and many others. Most recipes include a bit of flavorful commentary from the chef, such as this tip for Spicy Greens: "If you are faint of heart (burn), eliminate the red pepper altogether." Or the brief definition that introduces Crackling Cornbread: "Cracklings are deep-fried crispy skins of various animals--in this case, pork." <em>Well, Shut My Mouth!</em> is also the history of the two women who started a locally and nationally acclaimed restaurant (Our State, Southern Living, New York Times). As Tyson says in her introduction, "Every part of me is a part of Sweet Potatoes." In <em>Well, Shut My Mouth!</em> she shares a culinary experience that has been a favorite of Winston-Salem natives and visitors for years. Now, patrons have the tools to re-create the Sweet Potatoes dining experience in their own homes.</p> <p>Stephanie L.

Anyone with a taste bud in their mouth should follow these recipes and open their mouth." - Maya Angelou</p> <p>"The opening of Sweet Potatoes was a milestone event in the city's efforts to revitalize Trade Street. Sweet Potatoes acted as a catalyst for the tremendous success of Winston-Salem's Arts District. In the few short years of its existence, Sweet Potatoes has become an icon for our community and is an attraction known throughout the state." - Allen Joines, mayor of Winston-Salem since 2001</p> <p>"In the heart of Winston-Salem's Downtown Arts District, Sweet Potatoes restaurant greets its clientele with an atmosphere and cuisine that mirror the lively mix of shops, studios, and galleries surrounding it." - Janet C. Pittard, Our State magazine</p> <p>"From the very first moment I met Viviàn and Stephanie and was lifted by the kitchen's aroma, I was in love. Having produced the film Fried Green Tomatoes, and being something of an expert on their preparation throughout the South, I was enthralled with Stephanie's delicious recipe. Her FGT are crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. They have full flavor and are the best I have tasted anywhere outside of Idgie and Ruth's Whistle Stop Café. However, you need to try the Fried Chicken and the Banana Pudding. They are a rustic Cordon Bleu education in themselves--simply amazing. Our family saves them for special occasions." - Jordan Kerner, dean of the School of Filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Pub.
