Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
This book is great. It reminds me of so many of the things I ate as a child in my grandmother's kitchen



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I LOVE IT
I'd been making the peach cobbler recipe from this book for years without paying attention to where it came from. The recipe appeared in a magazine a few years ago and I've been making it every since. For some reason I decided to see where the original recipe came from and that brought me here to buy the book. I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. This isn't just a cook book, but almost like part family history as well. I'm very eager to try the recipe's in the book...especially the Dr. Pepper cake (I've never heard of) and of course the sweet potato pie (I've always bought frozen and passed it off as my own). There's other recipes that I've heard of, but never knew what they were (egg pie). This book is a good addition to your library. While I haven't made all of the recipes in the book, I can attest that the peach cobbler recipe is perfect. Some recipes require you to add a little extra sugar, butter, etc. This recipe is perfect as it is. The only thing I did differently was buy refrigerated pie crust instead of making it from scratch...delicious!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Memories created
Brought this book for a gift based on reviews and I am very happy that I did. My sister loves it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful
I originally ordered this cookbook myself, then after seeing it, ordered nearly 10 copies as gifts for friends and colleagues here in Munich - several of them homesick Southerners. This cookbook is really a delight to read and the recipes bring back alot of memories.
