Fabulous, Easy and Awesome!

Here's another Southern Living cookbook you can't live without. The recipes are gathered from regular folks and aren't overly difficult to prepare. However, they taste as if you've been in the kitchen for days. They're really that good. This book made me really want to take up cooking further and since I bought this book, that's what I've been doing. Their desserts are outstanding and the main dishes are just wonderful. I can't say enough good about this book - just buy it for whomever you need it for and you'll be on their best friend list!

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum . . .

Now, this is my idea of a cookbook! Four hundred recipes culled from several thousand community cookbooks, which are an excellent source for "real" recipes, as opposed to the elitist, artsy concoctions of chefs in expensive restaurants. I.e., this is the sort of regional comfort food I not only like to eat, but am also capable of preparing: Peach Cobbler, Pecan Pie, Country-Fried Steak, Honey-Baked Chicken, and all that good stuff. On the other hand, I'm really not an okra person (my wife is), and I have no use at all for greens of any kind. But you'll also find Curried Chicken Salad, Three-Pepper Frittata, Orange Hummus here, none of which I would consider "Southern." The Beer and Tomato Hush Puppies turned out really good, and so did the idea of making French toast with English muffins (never thought of that). Shrimp Manale (with garlic and white wine) is a very simple dish, but excellent, and the Catfish Classique, made with vermouth, whipping cream, and chopped scallions, was a very interesting take on a South Louisiana staple. I don't know about making "quick" beignets from frozen dinner rolls, though. I got this book from the library, but I think I'm going to have to buy my own copy.
