Betty has other books out and they are all just as excellent!

One of the Best

I am a yankee but sure do want to be a southerner after reading this cookbook. The recipes are so easy and not all need exotic ingredients but easy to find items at the local grocery store. The sidebars are very entertaining. I hope to host my first catered party for friends in the spring. This is one cookbook that will be out on the kitchen counter all the time.

The perfect gift for family and friends who entertain

Southern Scrumptious is clearly the product of a skilled cook, gracious entertainer and practical teacher who excels in communicating to the user. The recipes are outstanding, and when the advice is followed carefully, one begins to develop those skills which the author obviously has mastered.

This the Best cookbook I have ever purchased!

This is the best cookbook that I have ever purchased! The recipes are delicious! I would recommend this cookbook to anyone that loves to entertain. This cookbook has some wonderful hints about servings sizes per guest. I absolutely love it!

Easy gourmet for the expert and the beginner!

This book makes entertaining so easy you'll never need a caterer again. It gives you everything you'll need to host the perfect party, whether it's a tea or a dinner party or anything in between. The recipes are easy and delicious; and, in each party menu, the flavors of the different recipes all complement each other perfectly. It also goes into detail about how much to plan for each person in your party and how to stock your bar. Every time I've made the Baked Spinach Fiesta Dip and served it at my home or at a party, at least two or three people have asked for the recipe. These days, I rarely cook outside this book.
