Lana Stuart is a professional blogger who founded Lana's Cooking in 2009 to record vintage recipes from her south Georgia childhood where hometown and family formed the core of her love of southern food. Although traditional southern comfort food and southern foodways form the basis of Lana's experience, her recipes are not strictly limited to that style of cooking. She greatly enjoys exploring new trends and tackling interesting challenges in the kitchen. Lana is the author of "My Southern Table: Recipes From a Georgia Kitchen," a cookbook containing 246 recipes representing her experience of southern comfort food.
Born and raised in south Georgia, Lana Stuart grew up in a family where the kitchen was the heart of the home. The smell of chicken frying, the taste of freshly churned ice cream, the laughter and conversation that filled the air as the family gathered around the dining table—these are the cherished memories that have shaped her and her new cookbook, My Southern Table: Recipes from a Georgia Kitchen.
