5 out of 5 stars A great little book!   October 18, 2008
Delightful and entertaining text plus outstanding recipes. A great gift idea for special women in one's life. You don't have to be southern!


1 out of 5 stars Nostalgia for plantation life?!!!   July 9, 2008
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

Apparently I am the only reader who found parts of this book DEEPLY offensive. The author practically swoons over those fabulously fortunate [white] folks who owned plantations. I think we all know who provided the labor force on said plantations. Thus nostalgia for slavery is pretty much undisguised. I quit reading and returned the book to the library at this point. I'm white, but I hate to think what an African-American would experience reading portions of this "humor" book. I'd give it zero stars or, if it were possible, negative stars.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Being from Alabama I know that what she says is absolutely true!


5 out of 5 stars Just the recipes alone ...   May 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

are enough to justify this purchase! They're outstanding, and so traditional down south that most folk don't even bother to write them down. But the writing - especially ias it relates to being Methodist or Episcopal, and whether your family falls on one side or the other of the politics in your hometown ... it's all good. Just hilarious! If you grew up in the South, you recognize these people described herein - and if you didn't grown up in the South, well, you'll wish that you had!

Buy it - it's all good!

Love,
granny nita

I did not know what to expect but I laughed all through the book. The recipes look promising although I have not had the opportunity to try one. I have given this book as a gift and recommended it to several friends. You might find it more relevent if you are from the South and are Episcopalian.
