Join us for our Columbia book launch in celebration of The Cheese Biscuit Queen, Kiss My Aspic! by Mary Martha Greene. In her new book, Mary Martha shares a fresh batch of Southern recipes and saucy stories.

Mary Martha Greene is back and serving up generous portions of fabulous Southern cooking and lively storytelling in this sequel to her best-selling book The Cheese Biscuit Queen Tells All. In this new book, Queen Mary Martha exclaims, "kiss my aspic!," and invites readers into her world of Southern hospitality. She tells the kinds of stories that some might wish were kept within the family and shares recipes just as juicy and delicious as the best gossip. Greene's real-life characters sparkle with humor and Southern charm.

If you come for the stories, you will certainly stay for the food. Organized by course, recipes include Shrimp Remoulade Deviled Eggs, Pride of the Pee Dee Chicken Bog, Chocolate Pound Cake with Pecan Fudge Icing, and Chatham Artillery Punch. Charmingly illustrated with vintage photographs and complete with a foreword by Cassandra King, author of Tell Me a Story: My Life with Pat Conroy, The Cheese Biscuit Queen, Kiss My Aspic! is the perfect addition to all kitchens celebrating food, family, friends, and Southern culture.

Mary Martha Greene is a South Carolina native and government relations consultant who perfected her entertaining skills for making friends and engaging clients during her forty-year career. The author of The Cheese Biscuit Queen Tells All: Southern Recipes, Sweet Remembrances, and a Little Rambunctious Behavior, she divides her time between Beaufort and Columbia, SC.
