About Paula Deen:
Born in Albany, Georgia, Paula Deen was a homemaker and bank teller before entering professional cooking. She divorced her first husband in 1989 shortly after moving to Savannah. She was left with only $200 and her two teenage sons.
Considered a good Southern cook, she started a small catering company called The Bag Lady. She would make sandwiches and other meals, and then her sons would deliver the food.
In 1997, Paula self-published her first cookbook, The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cooking, and in 1999 began her relationship with the Food Network.
Paula increased her success and national recognition by promoting her book on QVC, where it became one of the best selling cookbooks. She has since written three more cookbooks: The Lady & Sons, Too! : A Whole New Batch of Recipes from Savannah, The Lady & Sons Just Desserts and Paula Deen & Friends: Living It Up, Southern Style.
