Summary: Looking, Looking, Found it!!
Comment: This cookbook is a gem!! I have long been searching for a cookbook with the delicious Southern recipes I enjoyed when visiting my grandparents and great aunts in South Carolina. This is it! This cookbook has the original, homemade Southern recipes with the original ingredients and also includes vignettes on how these recipes were prepared back then and for which occasions. The recipes are simple and I have not received an unsatisfactory result from one yet. Since these are authentic recipes, some of the ingredients are not very healthy but can be easily substituted with something more heart or waist friendly without sacrificing taste.

Summary: the real thing
Comment: I bought this book about four years ago. Please note that I am a Grandmother who has been told that I could 'burn'! After purchasing this book, I have changed my personal recipes for the ones in the book.

I have also purchased more as gifts for my friends and especially my family...my Daughters and Granddaughter included. I also enjoy the historical facts and pictures. My Grandson made his first macaroni & cheese by following the recipe.

IT'S A WINNER!!

Summary: I love this cookbook
Comment: I purchased this book year ago. I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to cooking from scratch. I purchased this book because I wanted to learn how to cook a variety of southern foods for my fiance who is originally from Mississippi and loves home cooked meals.I've cooked a lot of the recipes in this book and they have all turned out delicious.I would encourage any one who is trying to learn to prepare soul food like your grandmother to invest in this cookbook.You won't be sorry.
