If, during your reading of the Mitford books, you ever thought, "I wonder what that tastes like?" or "Boy, that sounds really good," or "I wonder if there's a real recipe for that?"... You will love this book. All the foods you remember from the Mitford series and more, plus wonderful anecdotes from Karon on the writing process, food and life in general.

This is a beautiful, heart-warming (and stomach-warming) book. I highly recommend it. (

This is definitely one of my favorite cookbooks. I will have to give up something on my shelf to make room for it. Full of yummy sounding recipes and wonderful bits and pieces from the Mitford series as well as insights into Jan Karon's life and kitchen. A very pleasant read. I've tried several of the recipes and so far they have been great. (
