Paula calls up Heather who is a beginner cook. Heather just got married and talks to Paula about learning how to cook. Paula's advice to Heather is to have her grandmother help her learn some of the basics. Heather's first question is ask what kind of dish to bring to a potluck.
Paula advises to bring over a casserole. There are all sorts of casseroles people can make like chicken pot and the Kentucky hot brown (this is a Paula favorite). Paula's latest book covers all these kind of menus and recipes to help plan for any occasion.

Heather Heather oh I lost the call
1:04
something I'll have to call you back so
1:07
I'm fixing a try Heather what happened
1:19
okay are you someplace where you get a
1:22
good signal it's your grandma good cook
1:32
listen well what have y'all been doing
1:40
well she lives in Vegas so we went to we
1:44
went to the mob museum and oh good so
1:50
y'all just kind of picking up snacks
1:52
here and there well while you're there
1:56
you need to you need to learn everything
1:59
that your grandmother can teach you I
2:02
learned at the side of my grandmother
2:04
who was a fabulous cook she was so good
2:08
and I wouldn't trade that for anything
2:11
in the world so take advantage
2:13
have you been with your grandmother and
2:19
you don't have any children yet
2:21
apparently okay well when those babies
2:28
start coming you're certainly not going
2:31
to want to raise them on fast food so
2:34
uh-huh so it's important that you get in
2:37
there and learn to cooking and love that
2:40
kitchen so your question to me was
2:43
figuring out what a brick what to bring
2:46
to parties what kind of potluck dishes
2:48
and holiday dishes
2:50
so before I contacted you Heather I was
2:54
kind of looking through some of my
2:56
cookbooks and my newest cookbook at the
3:00
southern table with Paula Deen I've got
3:02
a chapter on just casseroles which is
3:07
unusual for me to have in my other books
3:10
so I'm just gonna run by a couple of
3:16
quick things homestyle chicken potpie a
3:21
turkey Tetrazzini which is a great dish
3:25
using your leftover turkey at
3:28
Thanksgiving
3:29
the Kentucky hot brown have you ever
3:32
heard of that all right well this was
3:36
made popular in Louisville Brown hotel
3:40
in the 20s and it is a beautiful dish
3:45
and it it actually started out as a
3:50
sandwich so but you make this in a
3:53
casserole dish if I hold up this book
3:57
and she watches this podcast she can see
3:59
it right all right Heather I'm holding
4:03
I'm holding up the picture of this
4:05
Kentucky hot brown so when she when you
4:08
see this podcast you can see what it's
4:10
supposed to look like what did you want
4:12
to say dear
4:18
well you'll have to pick it up because
4:22
it's just got a lot of information the
4:28
country captain and let's see the
4:31
chicken alfredo pasta bake I really like
4:34
that one
4:36
but the baked rigatoni and cheese
4:38
stuffed meatballs honey yes it's so good
4:44
I mean you put cheese in the middle of
4:47
some meat and you know it's good yes yes
4:56
well maybe I'll have to check that diet
4:59
out and I've got individual shepherd's
5:04
pie in here in the casserole section and
5:07
that's one of my family's favorite
5:09
dishes that I make and you know it's
5:14
like meat potatoes peas and some people
5:19
top it with a biscuit mix but I'm just
5:25
like mine topped with potatoes but
