Fans of Kimberly Schlapman are used to seeing her with the other three members of Little Big Town, and they're usually winning a country music award or doing something left of center like performing with Ariana Grande at the CMA Awards .
But Schlapman has another talent – cooking.
She hosts “Kimberly’s Simply Southern” on the Great American Country channel and just released the cookbook “Oh Gussie!”, in which she shares recipes and stories about growing up in Cornelia, Ga. (some examples: Georgia Peach Salsa, Kimberly’s Chicken and Dumplings and Big Batch Banana Pudding).
Schlapman will sign copies of the book – and there might even be some culinary samples – at 7 p.m. May 8 at the Norcross Cultural Arts Center.
Schlapman wrote “Oh Gussie!” with James Beard Award-winning author Martha Foose and says the book represents her roots in north Georgia, her road travels and her life at her current home base in Nashville.
