Whiskey in a Teacup
What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life, Love, and Baking Biscuits
Witherspoon's Southern scrapbook: the recipes, rituals and hospitality her grandmother taught her, told the way she would tell a friend.
Part memoir, part entertaining manual, built around the Nashville upbringing that shaped her. Witherspoon walks through Southern traditions as she learned them from her grandmother Dorothea: how to set a table, throw a party, make biscuits properly, and carry yourself with what the title calls whiskey in a teacup, soft on the outside and strong underneath. Recipes and family photographs sit alongside the stories. A warm, unhurried book, more about a way of living than a set of instructions.
