southern cookbook recommendations?
I just got back to NYC from a trip to Charleston and Savannah, and I'd love to get some good books on the cooking of the Deep South. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for old-fashioned (boiled peanuts, pimento cheese) but I wouldn't mind some more modern recipes as well, and anything with good appetizer and vegetable sides would be especially appreciated.
Thanks so much!

FYI
This is a good resource for Southern cooking.
The Hot and Hot Fish Club Cookbook: http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Fish-Club-Cookbook-Celebration/dp/0762435526
And Frank Sitt's Southern Table: http://www.amazon.com/Frank-Stitts-Southern-Table-Stitt/dp/1579652468/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y
Also, Craig Claiborne (raised in the deep South) has an excellent book on Southern cooking - he's not mentioned much around here, but he really was one of the best recipe writers: http://www.amazon.com/Craig-Claibornes-Southern-Cooking-Claiborne/dp/082034334X
