Elizabeth Heiskell knows a few things about Southern hospitality. Heading a catering company for the past 20 years, the Mississippi Delta-born chef details what dishes to bring on any occasion, from potlucks to Super Bowl parties, in her new cookbook, “What Can I Bring?”
For example, if you have a new mama to visit, food—not teddy bears—is the gift to bring. Heiskell recommends dishes that are mild enough for the nursing mother but still satisfying enough for the rest of the family, like a roasted chicken perfumed with rosemary and served with root vegetables.
