Customer Reviews

Great Southern Cooking

My mother bought this book for me while we were in Tennessee several years ago for a family reunion. This cookbook has the most incredible Red Velvet cake recipe. I have made it numerous times over the years for several birthdays and other functions, and everyone always raves about it. This would definitely be a great addition to anyone's cookbook collection.

Tells Tennessee Like It Is

I bought this book on the road as I traversed the complete 500 mile breadth of the great state of Tennessee. The recipes are super, and of incredible variety, but even more I like the lore that fills this unique book. You will benefit from cooking this cuisine, but, if you want a browser and a good read, let Miss Daisy be your guide. She knows Tennessee, she loves Tennessee, and it truly shows.Food writer Elliot Essman's other reviews and food articles are available at www.stylegourmet.com

AWESOME SOUTHERN COOKING

THIS COOKBOOK IS AWESOME! WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A COOKBOOK THAT HAS ALL OF THE TREASURED SOUTHERN RECIPES THAT YOU REMEMBER FROM YOUR MOTHER'S AND GRANDMOTHER'S KITCHEN. IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING FROM CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE(ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES FROM MY CHILDHOOD) TO TENNESSE ERNIE FORD'S CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE HOLIDAY DRESSING TO MISS DAISY'S FAMOUS FIVE FLAVOR POUND CAKE TO GENUINE TENNESSEE CORNBREAD. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. HOWEVER, THE MOST SPECIAL PART ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT MISS DAISY HAS JAM-PACKED IT WITH TENNESSEE HISTORY FACTS ON PEOPLE AND PLACES THAT HAVE MADE OUR NATION'S 16TH STATE SO WONDERFUL AND ENDEARING. BEING BORN AND RAISED IN TENNESSEE PROBABLY MAKES ME A BIT PARTIAL BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT NO MATTER WHAT PART OF THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN THIS BOOK WILL BRING YOU A SPECIAL HEARTWARMING JOY. MISS DAISY HAS DONE QUITE AN AWESOME JOB!
