Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-29 00:00:00 William Wright Revised and updated version of the 1995 classic, Savannah's Damon Lee Fowler's widely acclaimed Bible of Southern cooking and foodways is a good read with hundreds of recipes, a few nice color photographs at the center of the book, and useful tips and historical tidbits too. Worth owning by anyone who cares about "Classical Southern Cooking" - most everyone should! A very enjoyable read even if you choose not to cook by any of his recipes. A very nice book.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-09 00:00:00 Donald Dunner This book is only for those in love with Southern culinary history. These aren't the recipes your grandmother made - these are the recipes folks made during the Civil War! Some aren't really practical by today's standards, but there are plenty that are simply delicious. A good dose of history with every recipe - where it first appeared in print, or who is credited with its creation - and every recipe is at least somewhat adapted for the modern kitchen (no cauldrons over campfires necessary). The chicken and dumplings recipe is heavenly, and so is the fruit cobbler recipe!
