Paula Deen is a remarkable woman with a bubbly, instantly likable personality and an adorable twangy accent. Not only did she single-handedly overcome agoraphobia so debilitating that it confined her to her house in her 40s, but she subsequently quit being a housewife and built up an extremely successful catering business and then a restaurant. Today she is something like the southern states Martha Stewart, with a TV cookery show on the Food Channel, lifestyle magazines, books and a huge following.

Take for example her deep-fried butter balls, comprising (you guessed it) butter mixed with cream cheese, formed into balls, frozen and then deep-fried. Other classics include gooey butter cake and the deep-fried Twinkie.
