Summary: Love 2 Cook
Comment: This is one of the best recipe books in the whole "Deen" line. There is nothing like a cookbook with a lot of pictures and this one has it. The recipes are easy & have everyday foods that you don't have to hunt for at the store. I will be seeing the brothers and Paul at a cooking shoe in a couple months & hope to get this authographed!

Summary: Great Easy Recipes
Comment: Everything that I have made is great and easy. I especially love the spaghetti pie, cookies with M & Ms, grilled porkchops and spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. The only recipe that did not turn out well is the pink lemonade cake. This is a great cookbook for entertaining!

Summary: Another helpful cookbook by the Deen Brothers
Comment: I enjoyed the Deen Brothers' first cookbook, but I must say that I've been enjoying their second cookbook (this one) even more---if that is possible!
This cookbook is much more personal than the Deen Brothers' first cookbook. In the first cookbook , the brothers (Jamie and Bobby) shared with us some of the recipes that they developed with the inspirations from their travels.
This second cookbook, however, deals mostly with recipes that the brothers developed, perfected, and revised throughout their lives. Of course, this does not mean that this book will give the reader ALL the recipes ever invented by the brothers, but this book will give a wonderful BASIS to the readers, and a terrific introduction to the Brothers Deen style of cooking.
To me, the "Brothers Deen Style" cooking is this:
1)Easy,
2)FUN to duplicate,
3)Inspirational,
4)Easy to procure the ingredients, and...
5)The recipes do not take too long to make
As was seen in the Deen Brothers` first cookbook, their photos are spectacular! Almost every single recipes in this 2nd book has a LARGE photo to go with it. The photos themselves are inspirational!
This book covers a "homey" style of cooking, with recipes that are easy to duplicate and also FUN to make and EAT! For example, I'll give y'all a taste of some of my favorite recipes from this cookbook:
~~Bacon wrapped chicken breasts w/chile cheese sauce.
~~Romaine,cucumber,& grape tomato salad w/Ranch dressing (the dressing recipe is included).
~~Mama's friend chicken (I have not tried this one yet, but I've seen this one made on their TV show, and is on my list of recipes to make soon).
~~Hoecakes (another recipes the Brothers made on their/and Paula's TV show,that I plan to duplicate soon, along w/ the fried chicken).
~~Three cheese potato gratin (the 3-cheese mix does the trick!).
~~Breakfast casserole w/ham and cheese (this is like a souffle`, but easier to make).
~~Egg white omelet w/ spinach and tomatoes (it's low in cholesterol).
~~Artichoke & Spinach Dip w/ Pita chips (this is the Brothers' version of the original spinach dip many of us have tried before @ parties).
~~Crab Egg Benedicts (if you love Eggs Benedict, then this version will surprise you).
~~Ham and Cream Cheese stuffed Chicken (this is a similar version to one of Paula's recipes that is very good).
~~Spinach Salad with WARM Bacon dressing (if you have never tried this recipe, please do because it has an unforgettable flavor.One of my family's favorites).
I will stop w/ recipes here because I am running out of room, but there are many more in this book....
Anyhow, all in all,(to me), this is a five star cookbook.

Summary: Sentimental Journey Back Home
Comment: I was born in Savannah right after Pearl Harbor. Growing up there in the 40s and 50s I remember a garden in almost every back yard. Fresh produce, meat, eggs. There was a childhood memory on every page of this wonderful cookbook.
These are recipes I hope to find every time I buy a Southern cookbook and, till now, couldn't find. And then along comes Ya'll Come Eat! I must admit I did find a tear dropping on the pages more than once, but they were happy tears. My grandmother's Red Potato & Green Bean Saute was there. Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad. We always took that to Tybee Beach to eat with our sandwiches. They have wonderful recipes for Three Cheese Potato Gratin, Zesty Caesar Salad, Corn Bread Caserole. As yummy looking as Bobby! Oh, to be 25 again! I'd be following him all over the restaurant!
Unfortunately, as my life progressed, my career took me to other places. NYC is where I live now and have for some time. Can't find a meatloaf like the one in the book or the way mom used to cook it. Pot roast with sweet potatoes? Maybe there is still one, lone restaurant in Harlem that hasn't been gentrified to the point they don't have Southern cooking any longer. Mom and Pop restaurants are disappearing here in the city as quickly as the glaciers in the Arctic.
So it was a delight for me to open this wonderful cookbook today and see page after page of easy to make, stick to your tummy, make you happy all day recipes that I remember from the 40s and 50s in Savannah. Can't wait to make that Southern pound cake and Lemonade cake this weekend! Wonderful photos of the boys and their mom from their childhood, and recent photos of Jamie, his beautiful wife and adorable son. Just love, love, love this book! A lot of my NYC Yankee friends are getting copies for the holiday season this year!
I really need to come back home and meet this fabulous family! I just retired and now have the time. If I win the NY Lottery, I'll move back for good! Then I can eat with the Deen family every day!
You are going to love this cookbook. It is something really special.
