Before Paula Deen became a bestselling author and celebrity chef, she taught sons Jamie and Bobby how to cook at the family’s restaurant, aptly named The Lady & Sons.

The Savannah, GA-based eatery, which opened its doors in 1989, still specializes in Southern cuisine—from fried green tomatoes and fried chicken to crab stew and barbecued grouper. (Check out Paula’s recipe for Rustic Orange Eggs Benedict.)

The Deen brothers have since hosted the Food Network’s Road Tasted and written several cookbooks, including Y’all Come Eat and The Deen Bros. Take It Easy: Quick and Affordable Meals the Whole Family Will Love.

With strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, this fruit-filled, easy-to-prepare dish is a romantic feast for the eyes and palate.
