Country music star and Owasso resident Trisha Yearwood is planning a a follow-up to her best-selling 2008 cookbook ”Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen.”

“Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood” will be released in April 6, 2010. She once again worked with mother Gwen Yearwood and sister Beth Yearwood Bernard to compile her second book of hearty Southern family favorites.

The book will feature practical recipes, personal anecdotes and delicious depictions of the hearty fare you’ll find at Yearwood family gatherings, according TrishaYearwood.com. 

“Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood” focuses on recipes culled from recent gatherings and shared meals, and the stories behind them that feature her extended family and close circle of friends. 

Trisha Yearwood found 60 or 70 recipes on the chopping block. However, she wasn’t sure those leftovers would ever end up in print since she says it takes about a year to put a cookbook together. To help her make the decision, she enlisted family members to bring their favorite dishes to a reunion — along with the recipe. Then she divided the stack of recipes between herself, her sister and their mother, plucking the best ones. The result is Home Cooking With Trisha Yearwood, a new book being served in April 2010.

The new cookbook will include recipes for one-pot dishes, pastas, salads, refreshments, desserts, and more, including, Garth’s Breakfast Bowl; Cowboy Lasagna; Cornbread Salad with French Dressing; Vegetable Pie; Spice Cake with Lemon Sauce and Grandma Yearwood’s Coconut Cake.

In a phone interview with CMT.com, Yearwood said had 60 or 70 recipes left on the chopping block after she finished her first cookbook, but she wasn’t sure if she was going to spend another year putting together a second cookbook.  She enlisted family members to bring their favorite dishes to a reunion, along with the recipes. Then, she divided the stack of recipes between herself, her sister and their mother, plucking the best ones.

In the CMT interview from the Oklahoma home she shares with husband and fellow country star Garth Brooks, Yearwood also talked about cooking meals for her friends, sharing (or not sharing) famous recipes and holding out for the best brownies. Read it by clicking here.
