Buxton Books is proud to host popular cookbook author and blogger Lauren McDuffie for an in-store book launch of Southern Lights: Easier, Lighter, and Better-For-You Recipes from the South.

The new book includes more than 100 recipes that are a fresh take on Southern cooking, reimagining the classics through a better-for-you lens and highlighting beloved Southern dishes that are lighter to begin with. By swapping in ingredients like leaner cuts of meat and healthier oils (no mass quantities of butter here!) for their heavier counterparts and focusing on fresh, seasonal produce, “Southern Lights” gives readers a more wholesome repertoire of recipes from breakfast to dinner and beyond. Southern favorites like Pulled BBQ Sandwiches, Mac and Cheese, Hushpuppies and Bread Pudding are all reenvisioned to more nutritious and delicious versions of themselves that will have even the most devout Southerners converted.
