Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-19 00:00:00 Brian Oshea This is certainly one of those cookbooks you read from cover to cover. Much more than recipes; history of foods, products, businesses AND recipes. I enjoyed all the quotes scattered among the pages. Loved it!!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-28 00:00:00 Ernest Lopez First, skip the Kindle and get the real book version. The typography and layout and references are all in the book. You can not get the "feel" of the book on a 6 inch screen. Pick up a used copy, you'll be glad you did. If you are interested in Southern cooking, you will not find a better more researched resource. If you like history and stories and lots of details with your recipes like I do, you will love this book. The author has done a scholarly approach to the history of Southern food. You will find everything from details about collard greens to facts about iconic Southern restaurants like Savannah's Miss Wilkes Boarding House. There are stories about family members to stories of Presidents. Iconic foods like, Little Debbie Snack Cakes, Moon Pies, RC Cola, Krispy Kreme, etc have interesting histories and they are included. Lots of unique recipes you will not find in print (or on the internet), along with staples like Chicken Pot Pie and Banana Pudding. Interesting historical timeline runs through the entire book with short facts of Southern cooking. This is a great book!
