After so many great successes I have high expectations for any Rick Bragg book, and he never disappoints. In the case of his latest "The best cook in the world" He,for myself, raises the bar even higher....acquainted with many of the characters from previous books, it's a delight to revisit tales of misadventures and successes related to the down home recipes...Like many of my deep south amigos, I " know" all the folks he's writing about...When my Mississippi grandmother enjoyed a great meal..she often declared she felt " full as a tic."...This book is magnificent on many levels no matter if your from Montana or Maine...The humanity is rich and described in wonderful fashion.

Sometimes a song will cement a place and time in your mind. That’s the way I remember discovering Rick Bragg. I was at my local tire store thumbing through a worn copy of Southern Living magazine. His writing of rural Alabama as a young boy took me back to my childhood in Texas. He’s genuine. A true craftsman with our language. Any subject, whether a cook book or Alabama football, when touched by Bragg, will make your brain smile. Get this book. ...and everything else he’s written. Jump on the Bragg train. Hmmmmm. I think I need new tires!

Memories by a man descended from a family of good cooks. Very humorous. Outrageous stories. There aren't tons of recipes; those included are narratives. Characters will leave you shaking your head in disbelief.
