"The Biscuit Dive Guide"

The Biscuit Dive Guide
by Maryann Byrd

"The Rise of the Southern Biscuit is a documentary that relishes the history and uniqueness of the Southern biscuit. This appetizing program features the South’s best biscuit makers, cafes, and restaurants that keep the tradition of Southern biscuit making alive.

The book, The Biscuit Dive Guide is a roadmap to the best biscuit-making cafes and diners in the South. It doubles as a cookbook, as biscuit makers from these Southern cooking restaurants reveal their recipes and biscuit making success tricks. The Rise of the Southern Biscuit and The Biscuit Dive Guide are tributes to a key element of Southern tradition and hospitality - the Southern biscuit."

I was contacted by Maryann the other day and am I glad I was! What a great idea she has had come to fruition.

She traveled the South searching out the best biscuit-serving restaurants and recipes she could find. She interviewed biscuit makers throughout the South who agreed to share their biscuit recipes and biscuit making advice.

In the end, not only does she have a great book, but a documentary airing on various PBS stations throughout the South!
