Everyone loves to eat – and learning how to prepare spectacular dishes or just down home good-eating recipes is almost a national pastime. Next month WaterColor Inn & Resort is hosting SouthernFare Culinary weekend September 16-18 and they're bringing in two southern culinary greats to teach guests the how-to's of preparing their favorite recipes. James Beard Award winner Martha Foose and the Gulf Coast's own, Lucy Buffett headline WaterColor Inn & Resort's culinary weekend. Martha is a Mississippi native who has studied in France and worked as Food Editor for Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks and as a consultant for Food Professionals Network. Martha is a 2009 James Beard Award winner for American Cooking and won the Southern Independent Booksellers Award for her debut book, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea. Martha has been touring the country promoting her new cookbook, A Southerly Course.
Mobile native Lucy Buffett is a renowned cook, author and owner of Lulu's restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama. She coined the phrase "One Love One Ocean" to unite the Gulf Coast following the tragic BP oil spill. Lucy's first cookbook, Crazy Sista Cooking is in its second printing. Lucy is singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett's little sister and her cookbook contains favorite family recipes and stories about growing up in the Buffett household. She was selected as the 2010 Boardman Entrepreneur of the Year by the College of Business at The University of Southern Mississippi,
