The recipes are fantastic and filled with humor. There is also a section of great color photos of people and food. There's something for everyone in here, from Whiskey Sauce to Pun'kin pie, spoon bread to after-dinner coffee liqueur, Day-old Fried Fish to Shrimp Perlow. There's about every kind of Southern food in here, and these are simple, mostly quick recipes. Lard shows up a lot, but you can always make lower-fat substitutions. (I was surprised to find a fried egg sandwich in here; seems obvious, but the preparations were exactly as I use: spread two pieces of bread with mayonnaise (I use toasted whole grain bread myself), and then salt and pepper the bread, and then slip a fried egg in between the bread.) These recipes will make your mouth water, even if you never make them, but most are worth trying, and some people will be reminded of their parents' or grandparents' cookin'. If you can read this book without getting hungry, you're dead.Read full review
Had this book for years, and with divorce, lost it to my husband. My new neighbor was so sad that hers was lost in her house fire, so I was glad to replace it for the both of us at a great price. We'll be sharing it!

Recipes in this book are designed to satisfy your tastebuds and not prolong your life. I'm sure though that the years you lived would be full of taste.
