This is a great cookbook and my favorite of the few that I own by Paula Deen. Though there are a few recipes in it that don't sound too good to me because I am a picky eater, there are a lot that remind me of the good Southern cooking t hat my family does. I will definitely be keeping this one.
If you only have one Paula Deen on your shelf, this one is the best of the bunch. It was written before she became popular on the Food Network. Recipes are uniquely southern and family friendly.
Made an amazing drunken sirloin roast from here. Everything I've made has been good... though I've added more salt than recommended... then again I'm an over-salter.
Great homecooking recipes. I particularly love the Black Pepper Shrimp and the Vialia Onion Pie. The epitome of southern.
These cookbooks are full of great dishes. It is not for the dieter. the southern recipes are easy to fix and a delight to eat.
Not a bad read. Can't vouch for the recipes.
This was really a disappointment. Canned soup and cake mix are not what I expected.
