Jeremy and Scott’s Southern Cookin’ cookbooks blend flavor, family, and celebrity buzz into a fast-growing brand.
When Jeremy Syres and his husband, Scott, released their first cookbook in October 2023, they didn’t set out to become food-world celebrities. Best known for his bold musical collaborations, Jeremy already had a following. But Southern Cookin’ with Scott and Jeremy proved that his creativity extended beyond the stage — into kitchens everywhere.
Packed with 100 recipes and photos, the debut book offered hearty, comforting meals that were fast, easy, and deeply personal. It wasn’t about restaurant-level complexity. It was about food you could share with family, dishes that felt like home. That accessibility struck a chord, and fans — from longtime followers to new readers — embraced it wholeheartedly.
Building on Success
The warm reception of the first book sparked momentum. Instead of stopping at one, the duo dove into their second project almost immediately. The result: a dedicated all-crockpot cookbook with another 100 recipes and photos, released in 2024.
The crockpot edition carried the same DNA of convenience and flavor but leaned even further into simplicity. Busy families discovered meals they could throw together in minutes and enjoy at the end of a long day. Just like their first book, it balanced practicality with heart, showing that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.
Their cookbooks quickly began circulating not just in homes but in pop culture. Several celebrities even posed for promotional photos with the books, creating a buzz that helped propel the Southern Cookin’ brand well beyond its first audience.
What’s Next: Five Ingredients, Endless Flavor
Now, Scott and Jeremy are preparing their third installment, slated for release in 2026. This upcoming cookbook will focus on five-ingredient recipes — a concept designed to strip cooking down to its essentials while keeping it flavorful and approachable.
The message is clear: home cooking shouldn’t be intimidating. With just a handful of ingredients, families can still create meals that are delicious, memorable, and fun. It’s a natural next step for the brand, building on its reputation for recipes that fit into real lives without sacrificing taste.
More Than Recipes
What sets Southern Cookin’ apart is the philosophy behind it. Much like Jeremy’s music career — where every collaboration is about connection — the cookbooks are rooted in the idea that food brings people together. Every recipe is a story, every meal a memory. The photos aren’t just glossy images but snapshots of warmth, celebration, and authenticity.
And fans can go beyond the pages of the books. On Instagram, the pair’s account @Southern_Cookin_ has become a lively hub of food inspiration, updates, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. It’s where readers can see their favorite recipes come to life, connect with the authors, and become part of the growing Southern Cookin’ community.
A Legacy in the Making
With two successful cookbooks already out and a third on the horizon, Southern Cookin’ is more than a side project — it’s a brand carving out its own identity. The mix of fast, family-friendly meals, authentic storytelling, and celebrity buzz has created a formula that resonates.
Jeremy may be continuing his rise in music, but alongside Scott, he’s proving that creativity has no single lane. Whether through a soulful collaboration in the studio or a five-ingredient recipe in the kitchen, the couple is building a legacy of connection, flavor, and love.
