Country Cooking refers to a style of food preparation that emphasizes traditional, hearty meals often made with locally sourced ingredients. This culinary approach is rooted in the agricultural practices of rural areas, where families would use what they grew or raised. Dishes often include staples like corn, beans, and potatoes, and are typically cooked using methods such as roasting, frying, or slow-cooking. The flavors in Country Cooking are often bold and comforting, reflecting the simplicity and resourcefulness of rural life. Popular dishes may include fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, and collard greens. This style of cooking not only nourishes the body but also fosters a sense of community and tradition among families and friends.
