The 1997 national award-winning cookbook offers over 500 mouthwatering recipes that feature fresh ingredients and ease of preparation. Over 100 color photographs and a fabulous entertaining section are profiled. Unique sidebars highlight common traditions associated with food (for example, the history of the birthday cake).
The book is a winner of the Benjamin Franklin, Small Press, and Tabasco awards for best cookbook. As a more important indication of quality, it's very difficult to find copies of this book that aren't in tatters from heavy use. This is a classic that deserves space in any Southern or Junior League cookbook collection.
