About the Author

Carrie Morey founded her handmade biscuit business in 2005 with the goal of making the tender, buttery, made-by-hand biscuits of her mother accessible across the country. Over 15 years later, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is widely recognized as an iconic Southern brand with national retail exposure, 4 grab-and-go eateries in Charleston, Atlanta, and Charlotte, a food truck, and a cult-like following. Carrie is the author of two cookbooks: Callie’s Biscuits and Southern Traditions and Hot Little Suppers and is currently starring in a culinary docu-series, How She Rolls, about biscuits, business, and balance in her life as an entrepreneur debuting on PBS Spring 2021.

Editorial Reviews

10/04/2021

“Making an event out of cooking and eating food makes life more fun,” writes Morey (Callie’s Biscuits & Southern Traditions), founder of Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, in this rich collection of kitchen creations and tips. To “figure out which recipe is perfect for any occasion,” entrees are helpfully tagged with icons that indicate which is a crowd pleaser, a one-pot meal, a quick fix, vegetarian, family fave, or a “weeknight or weekend” option. The dishes—pot stickers, chicken tikka masala, cacio e pepe, pork al pastor—draw on various world cuisines. In her tasty riff on shrimp toast, she uses grilled Royal Red shrimp—instead of the traditional dim sum dish’s deep-fried topping—laid on slices of multigrain bread. Preceded by a helpful “grocery list” of ingredients she always has on hand (including fish sauce and White Lily flour), dishes are organized by season, and paired with menu options for desserts, sides, starters, and drinks. And to round out her chapter on biscuits, she provides recipe ideas for leftovers, such as a toasted maple biscuit casserole and biscuit crackers (whizzed-up biscuit crumbs even form the crust for a cheesecake pie). This promises to deliver dinner solutions year-round. Agent: Amy Hughes, DCL. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

Hot Little Suppers: Simple Recipes to Feed Family and Friends by Carrie Morey of Callie's Biscuits is worth the cost of admission for just the cinnamon biscuit recipe. Sweet mother of all things delicious, this one is a keeper. The book is organized by seasons with each season then being divided into sub-chapters: weeknight suppers, weekend suppers, hot little extras and drinks and desserts. The book begins with a chapter on biscuits as it should and for that I thank you Carrie. Sprinkled throughout the pages are Carrie's 'hot little tips' such as instructing us to freshly grate cheese as well as ideas for mixing things up a bit. This isn't a book of Southern recipes — these are recipes that Carrie makes for her family and friends such as Italian wedding soup, Shrimp toast, and Snapper with cilantro chimichurri.
