Why Parker’s Cookbook

Parker, grinning in a park swing on a sunny day

I’m Jordan Williams. This is a cookbook for my family, named after my son, Parker James “PJ”. Cooking runs deep in our family. My grandmother, Judy “Mammaw” Williams, has been putting together cookbooks of our family recipes for fifty years.

This is my version of what Mammaw started. A place to keep the recipes we love and pass them down, the same way they were passed down to me. Most of what you’ll find here is Southern home cooking, some handed down through the family, some picked up along the way, all of it food we actually make.

Just the food, and the people it came from.
