Hook's World Champion Colby is a washed curd cheese. This is the traditional way of making Colby and gives the cheese little tiny openings and a sweeter flavor than a cheddar. Washing the curd washes the lactose or milk sugar off of the curd. In traditional cheddar the lactose is not washed off and the starter bacteria that we add feed on the milk sugars changing the cheese to give it a more acidic flavor.

If you can not find the Brand Hook Cheese in your store...ask for hook cheddar cheese at the fine cheese or meat market.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes go back a long way in my family history.When we had too many tomatoes turning ripe red we will start picking the green ones and place them in the refrigerator until we got ready to fried them up. Keeping green tomatoes in the refrigerator will help keep them from turning red fast.

I like my Fried Green tomatoes half green and half red with a little batter on them. The batter gives the tomatoes a little more body. So when I eat them with other food on my plate, the fried green tomatoes can hold up and want tear a part.

  A great tip: season the tomatoes and set a side. this will bring out a great taste!!

Cheese Grits

It's funny, I was raise in Texas and my mother never cook grits. When I married, my husband folks who lived in New Orleans ate them just with butter.So when I started cooking them I had to add a little some some to them "some taste".

Grits has been a part of the life of every Southern of whatever race, background, gender, and income; and whereas, grits could very well play a vital role in the future of not only in the south , but also the world,  
Grits are usually either yellow or white, depending on the color of corn. The most commonly version found in supermarkets is "quick" grits in which the germ and hull have been removed, so grits can cook fast and quick.if not if will take 30 minute to cook.

Cheese cake

cheese cake is the best almost all modern cheesecakes in the United States and Canada use cream cheese; in Italy, cheesecakes use ricotta; Germany, the Netherlands and Poland use quark. Cheesecakes are most easily baked in a leak-proof springform pan, often paired with a water bath to more evenly distribute the heat. Because of the high density of most cheesecakes, they continue baking for some time after removal from an oven. cheesecake should be classified as a cake, a custard, a torte, or something else is a matter of debate. The early Greeks considered it a cake. Some modern authors point to the presence of many eggs, the sole source of leavening, as proof that it is a torte. Still others claim that the separate crust, the soft filling, and the absence of flour prove that it is a custard pie.
