Hi, I’m Sharron Plater — a proud Southern woman, passionate home cook, and the heart behind Southern Edible Creations. Cooking has always been more than just food for me — it’s tradition, it’s therapy, and it’s how I show love.

I grew up learning how to make hearty meals with what we had, and I’ve carried those soulful flavors with me ever since. Over the years, I’ve fed family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers — and no matter where I’ve been, the recipes always brought people together.

This cookbook was born from years of kitchen experiments, old-school tips, and my own twists on family classics. Many of these dishes are designed with busy folks, tight budgets, or special diets in mind — but still loaded with flavor.

Whether you’re here to find your next go-to meal or just a taste of home, I’m honored to share my table with you. Pull up a chair — let’s cook something real.
