I'm not saying that Shug's seasoning won us second place in people's choice at our first blackpot cookoff...but Shug's was the only seasoning we used on our wild rabbit! I've also received thanks when I've cooked Shug's redbeans from the cookbook. And my husband even loved those turnips!! Recipes are simple and easy to follow. If you don't know how to cook (and even if you do), you can become an authentic Southern cook with Shug's cookbook and seasoning!
