Southern Low Country Braised Pig's FeetThis recipe sings low country with high notes. A very significant part of African American heritage and culture. Pig's feet, along with the other 'undesirable' discarded parts, like ears and chittlins' were a staple in the slaves' diets as well as pinto beans and cornbread, also their personal vegetable gardens. This was sustainable… |

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of LambThis may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning… |

Grub Rubbed and Smoked Corned Beef BrisketThis recipe turned out fabulous even though I used a corned beef brisket instead of the traditional brisket. I created a wonderful spice blend especially for grilled meats and coined it Neillio's Grub Rub. Let the brisket marinate in the rub for 1/2 day to 24 hours. I used both the grill and the oven for this recipe and feel great… |

Italian Flag Roasted ChickenThis is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself. The name comes from the red sundried tomatoes, the white garlic and the choice selection of fresh green herbs blended with butter and distributed underneath the skin in delicious complex harmony. This is a quicker… |

Good Ole Fashioned Southern Creecy GreensA low-country delicacy of sorts, creecy greens are often not found in supermarkets like more common greens i.e. mustard, kale, collard.

Generally a 'mess' of salad will only yield… |
