"Southern" Desserts

Zilla - I live in north Florida - the southernmost part of the south :). Haven't been to Louisville recently - although I once met a fellow at a bar in Chicago who owned a bunch of restaurants there - and my husband's old neurologist is now head of neurology at the University of Kentucky teaching hospital.

Do people in Louisville demand trendy? If not - how about something just plain melt-in-your mouth good - like the best sweet potato pie? We have a potato and cabbage festival every spring here (bet you didn't know that we grow potatoes in Florida) - and it is hard for me to imagine any better dessert than the sweet potato pies the church ladies cook up. I have favorite sweet potato pie recipes if you're interested. Robyn

P.S. I happen to love poached pears although they are not particularly southern. For the holidays - I make a gingerbread cake with poached pears and cinnamon cream. You might do it as a holiday variation on the poached pear cake you're doing now. Robyn
