Welcome to our Deep dive uh into Trisha
0:02
Yearwood's home cooking cookbook um
0:05
today we're going to be exploring a
0:06
variety of recipe categories Oh Yeah
0:08
from from breakfast and snacks all the
0:11
way appetizers soups salads you name it
0:14
through main courses inside desserts and
0:16
even candy it's a really amazing book it
0:19
is it's an incredibly Personal
0:21
Collection I think filled with family
0:23
recipes and stories and you can really
0:26
tell that Trisha you know um has strong
0:30
Southern Roots and that she is
0:32
passionate about bringing people
0:34
together through food yeah and it's not
0:35
just a cookbook it's really like an
0:37
invitation into her world and all of her
0:40
family traditions and the memories that
0:41
she has with each dish so this deep dive
0:44
is going to be all about uncovering
0:46
those unique recipe twists and those
0:47
family stories and hopefully inspiring
0:49
you at home to bring that same warmth
0:51
and joy into your own kitchen you know
0:53
and speaking of her cooking philosophy I
0:54
think one of the things that really
0:55
stood out to me in reading this cookbook
0:57
was that Trisha truly believes in the
0:59
power of simple accessible ingredients
1:01
you know it's about creating delicious
1:04
home-cooked meals without the fuss or
1:07
pretention and that really comes across
1:10
in the book's dedication to her loved
1:11
ones who've passed away she talks about
1:13
how their memories live on through these
1:15
recipes and how sharing a meal is a way
1:18
to keep those connections alive it's a
1:20
beautiful sentiment and it just speaks
1:22
volumes about you know the importance of
1:25
food as a way to connect with your
1:27
family and to create lasting memories
1:30
and it's something that really shines
1:31
through in so many of these recipes like
1:33
Mama's homemade waffles oh yeah so
1:36
Trisha found out that she was using way
1:37
more sugar in her waffles than her
1:39
family's original recipe called for
1:41
right and that led to her creating sweet
1:44
sweet tea waffles which is oh just so on
1:47
brand for her yeah yeah and then there's
1:49
the fun Twist on that recipe where she
1:51
adds bacon to the waffle iron before the
1:53
batter oh yeah to make savory bacon
1:55
waffles it's a fun unexpected way to
1:58
shake up the classic breakfast exactly
2:01
and speaking of family
2:02
traditions blueberry pancakes is a
2:04
reminder that breakfast for supper is
2:06
always a good idea oh I agree who
2:08
doesn't love pancakes any time a day but
2:11
then there's G's breakfast bowl which is
2:13
a little bit less traditional a little
2:15
bit less traditional pasta eggs bacon
2:17
and potatoes All in One Bowl it's an
2:19
interesting combination it's definitely
2:21
not your average breakfast fair but it's
2:23
definitely hearty and satisfying and if
2:26
you can't finish it all G will clean up
2:28
the leftovers for you that's right he's
2:30
a practical man with a good appetite and
2:32
and he also inspired the country kiche
2:35
recipe by suggesting the addition of
2:37
talini oh yeah it's a brilliant addition
2:40
I mean who would have thought to put
2:42
tortillini in kiche but it adds a whole
2:44
new dimension of texture and flavor yeah
2:46
and for dessert or maybe a mischievous
2:48
snack there's the story of Trisha sister
2:51
Beth losing a tooth while enjoying a red
2:53
candy apple oh no hopefully it was a
2:55
loose tooth I know I know I'm thinking
2:56
the same thing but but either way those
2:58
Candy Apples sound delicious yeah they
3:00
sound perfect for like a fall festival
3:01
or a Halloween party exactly and
3:04
speaking of comfort food Trisha's
3:06
chicken soup recipe M introduced me to
3:09
WRA flow oh yeah which I had never used
3:12
before it's a really finely milled flour
3:14
that dissolves quickly in liquids so
3:16
it's great for thickening soups and
3:18
gravies without any lumps oh so that's
3:20
the secret to a smooth velvety texture
3:22
that's it I'm adding that to my grocery
3:24
list yeah it's a game changer for sure
3:27
so one of the recipes that really
3:30
exemplifies the Personal Touch of this
3:31
cookbook is Colleen's cabbage rolls y
3:35
yes which Trisha recreated to honor G's
3:38
mother a and the secret ingredient is
3:41
cinnamon cinnamon you know what that is
3:44
not something you see every day but it
3:46
really speaks to the unique flavor
3:49
profiles that can emerge from family
3:50
recipes that have been passed down for
3:52
Generations absolutely and speaking of
3:54
unique flavors let's talk about Trisha's
3:56
meatballs they're surprisingly easy to
3:58
make and she even suggest serving them
4:00
as appetizers with toothpicks oh yeah
4:02
perfect for parties or game day yeah
4:04
yeah then there's Cowboy Laine which was
4:06
actually a collaborative creation
4:08
between Trisha and G yeah they were
4:10
looking for like a really loaded
4:12
indulgent lasagna experience and they
4:14
definitely achieved it and for ribs that
4:16
are fall off the bone tender there's
4:18
Fred's barbecued pork ribs yes and the
4:22
secret is Trisha's cousin Fred's special
4:24
spray technique what yeah he has this
4:27
special spray he uses when he's grilling
4:29
ribs that that apparently works wonders
4:31
I need to know what the special spray is
4:32
we got to get our hands on that recipe
4:34
yeah and you could also cook them in a
4:35
baking bag for added convenience oh well
4:37
that's good to know yeah speaking of
4:39
bringing convenience and joy to your
4:41

4:45

worth flavoring and speaking of
5:01
delicious recipes we're just getting
5:03
started no we're just getting warmed up
5:06
up next we'll be diving into some of
5:07
Trish's southern comfort food Classics
5:10
like Linda's chicken and dressing and
5:12
chicken spinach lasan which even spinach
5:15
Skeptics will love oh I can't wait so
5:17
stay tuned because we're about to go
5:19
even deeper into the delicious world of
5:21
Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood I'm so
5:24
excited it's really cool to see how
5:26
Trisha kind of balances you know those
5:28
like classic southern flavors with a
5:31
modern twist yeah it's a great
5:33
combination of like tradition and
5:35
Innovation like lint is chicken and
5:37
dressing it's like the ultimate southern
5:39
comfort food classic blending that
5:41
cornbread dressing and chicken you get
5:43
all those textures and flavors in one
5:44
casserole dish it's so good it's so
5:47
comforting and then chicken spinach
5:49
lasan okay even spinach Skeptics will
5:51
love it I believe it I'm one of those
5:53
people who's not a huge fan of spinach
5:55
but when it's done right when it's done
5:57
right yeah yeah we don't even notice it
5:58
and Trisha herself was wasn't a fan of
6:00
squash until she discovered the recipe
6:02
for squash casserole that's it sounds so
6:05
simple yeah but it must be really
6:07
something special yeah and you know what
6:09
it's funny how her journey with squash
6:12
kind of mirrors a lot of people's
6:13
experiences with vegetables I think
6:15
right sometimes all it takes is the
6:17
right recipe to kind of change your
6:18
perspective yeah totally and speaking of
6:21
changing perspectives what about
6:23
Crock-Pot macaroni cheese okay I'm like
6:26
a mac and cheese purist oh really yeah
6:29
but even I'm intrigued by the idea of a
6:31
slow cooker version right it's all about
6:34
that effortless melt iny mouth texture
6:37
that you get from the slow cooking right
6:39
and let's not forget about the elegant
6:41
asparagus bundles which have this
6:43
amazing Touch of brown sugar in the
6:45
recipe oh yeah it's one of those dishes
6:47
that's like beautiful to look at as well
6:48
as to eat exactly cation is everything
6:52
and while we're talking about vegetables
6:53
cabbage casserole is another recipe
6:55
where Trisha takes this really humble
6:57
ingredient and turns it into something
6:59
something pretty decadent it's amazing
7:02
what you can do with simple ingredients
7:04
when you have a little creativity and
7:05
for a really fresh Twist on cranberry
7:08
sauce there's cranberry orange relish
7:10
which has become a family favorite for
7:11
Trisha oh a bet that bright citrusy
7:14
flavor is perfect alongside Thanksgiving
7:16
turky yeah and for a southern dessert
7:19
with a Twist there's sweet potato
7:21
pudding okay with the addition of
7:25
cornmeal cornmeal yeah hm interesting
7:27
it's a really unexpected addition but it
7:29
adds a really nice texture and depth to
7:32
the pudding I can see that yeah I love
7:34
it when there are those like little
7:35
unexpected ingredients and desserts that
7:37
kind of like Elevate them and then
7:39
there's the cold oven pound cake which
7:41
has such a cool history behind it oh
7:43
tell me about it it was born out of
7:44
necessity during the Depression great
7:47
Aunt Marie came up with this technique
7:49
of starting the cake in a cold oven and
7:51
letting the temperature gradually rise
7:53
to help conserve fuel wow yeah that's
7:56
resourceful it's amazing how techniques
7:57
from the past can still be relevant
7:59
today I love that and you know speaking
8:00
of family history Grandma Yearwood's
8:03
coconut cake was actually almost lost oh
8:05
I know until Trisha rediscovered it in
8:07
her grandmother's recipe file wow yeah
8:11
and the thing that really sets this cake
8:13
apart is the addition of vanilla wafer
8:16
crumbs really yeah that's a really nice
8:19
touch it's a touch of nostalgia and it
8:21
adds this like really delicate sweetness
8:24
to the cake and for the chocolate lovers
8:26
out there there's chocolate cake with
8:28
divinity icing oh yeah that's a classic
8:31
it was a special birthday treat for
8:32
Trisha's grandfather Yeah and the icing
8:34
is notoriously difficult to make it is
8:37
Divinity icing it requires really
8:40
precise timing and you know what I've
8:41
heard that it's especially tricky on
8:43
humid days oh really yeah you kind of
8:45
have to say a little prayer when you're
8:46
making Divinity icing yeah but when it
8:48
comes together it's just like this
8:49
beautiful fluffy marshmallowy dream it
8:52
sounds worth the effort for sure it does
