It is a known fact that Duck Dynasty’s matriarch Miss Kay is the Queen of the Kitchen.
She can turn any family event into a culinary affair with her incredible cooking. She’s written several cookbooks, and has fed her ever-growing family for many decades now.
With Miss Kay, there are six cooking rules to live by and luckily for us, they are all shown in the clip below, with some hilarious Robertson antics.
1. Don’t Get Caught Up With Measurements
Many of her recipes do not call for a certain amount of an ingredient. When she was teaching her granddaughter, Alex, how to make her famous coconut cream pie, the recipes called for “two chunks of butter”, which confused Alex, who is a culinary school graduate.
Miss Kay had to explain that a chunk of butter was basically an entire stick of butter.
2. Put Your Heart Into It
Miss Kay cooks all of her meals with a special ingredient: heart. She always says, “I don’t have a Harvard degree from cooking school, but I have a heart.”
She’s always had a love for cooking, ever since she was a little girl and has dreamed of opening her own restaurant.
“I basically feel like I’ve been runnin’ a restaurant for many men for many years, except nobody pays,’ she says.
3. Try New Things
Living in the South and having a family who loves to hunt, Miss Kay is used to having to learn how to cook many different things including quail, duck, deer, and more!
One of her most outrageous tasks: squirrel brains!
4. Challenge Yourself In The Kitchen
“My Christmas dishes are the rage! And every year I make ’em bigger and bigger and better!” she says.
One holiday, she made squirrel and dumplings and the next year, she is making a “Perduckin”, which is when you put a squirrel inside a chicken, the chicken inside a duck, and the duck inside a pig.
The looks on her grandchildren’s faces when she tells them where these animals are going is PRICELESS!
5. If You Feed Them, They Will Come
When Willie was in a bind and needed help fulfilling a very large duck call order, Miss Kay helped out by promising to feed the workers. She got 100 people to come to the warehouse for a “Packin’ Party” and fed them a huge pig roast!
6. A Family That Cooks Together Stays Together
Miss Kay tested out a restaurant, and had the whole Robertson family help. Her sons were the waiters and Si even helped on the grill. Although he started cooking hamburgers and hot dogs, which weren’t on the menu, the night went pretty well!
With a huge family that also doubles as free help in the kitchen, we aren’t surprised that Miss Kay is opening her own bakery, Miss Kay’s Sweets and Eats!
