Our popular pistachio cake - oh my!

Welcome, Y’all — Come On Into My Southern Kitchen

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and settle in—because you’re about to step into a warm and welcoming world where recipes tell stories and every dish carries the rhythm of the tides and the comfort of home.

I’m Pat Branning, and it’s my great joy to welcome you to Tides of Tradition—my all-new online cookbook inspired by the salt-kissed shores of the Southern coast. This is a heartfelt collection of recipes gathered from the famous and the familiar, from celebrated chefs to cherished home cooks who’ve been stirring pots and passing down flavor for generations.

From Lowcountry boils and creamy stone-ground grits to delicate lemon pies and buttery crab cakes, each recipe in Tides of Tradition is steeped in memory, heritage, and Southern hospitality. Some dishes come from grand dining rooms, others from back porch kitchens, but all are bound by love and the kind of storytelling only food can offer.

This cookbook isn’t just a guide to what’s for supper—it’s an invitation. An invitation to share in the flavors that have shaped my life and my coast, to rediscover old favorites, and to make a few new ones of your own along the way.

So come on in. Let’s cook, laugh, and celebrate the tides that carry our traditions forward one beautiful bite at a time.

With love and blessings to all,
Pat Branning
