"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Cornbread is a must at the Liles Family. I can be done a variety of ways. Some use plain corn meal and fry like flat pancakes. Others use self-rising that will make the cornbread more of a cake. You can add onions or not. It all depends on how you like it.

Personal Notes:
Soon after I married Jerome Liles, Jr., he asked me to cook cornbread like his moma made. I whipped it up, put it in a cast iron skillet and in the oven - like my moma made it. When I served it to him, he was like what is this? It's cornbread, I said. No, that's not how you make it. After that, I cooked cornbread the "Liles'" way.
