Southern food, with the heat turned up.

Delepta is a recipe desk for cast-iron breakfasts, Sunday cakes, slow-cooker pots, and the side dishes that disappear first. The food leans Southern. The seasoning does not whisper.

Every recipe is written so it can be cooked on a regular night, with a regular grocery list. Start with main dishes, wander into dessert, or let the slow cooker handle supper.
