Mavis Powell began developing "Monday Through Sunday in Mavis's Kitchen: A Southern Family Cooking Lifestyle" as a young bride during World War II. Over the years, family became her greatest joy and cooking and creating daily menus became one of her greatest pleasures. Mavis's weekly menus began simply, based on availability - what's in the fridge, freezer or shelf! - then morphed into beautiful Southern creations. This cookbook covers a range of topics: down-home cooking recipes, old-fashioned-lost-art recipes, elegant appetizers and dinner fare, quick-and-easy recipes, cooking how-to tips and instructions, as well as daily, party, and holiday menus. But this cookbook provides more than just recipes. It reads more like a book and is filled with Mavis's personal memories of family, friends, and the very social Southern lifestyle she lived. Reading her memories provides a snapshot of the good old days and the simpler, pre and post-World War II life.
