Book Review: A Shining Example of Why Southerners Die Young. And Happily Full.
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of the cookbooks I have reviewed, you would think me to be a gourmet or "foodie." Well, no and no. As I have mentioned in other places, I am no one's idea of a great cook, and I don't know chutney from chives. But I like to think I know good recipies when I see them, and I also like to think that I can also see a B.S. "celebrity chef" cookbook that serves up impossible recipies no reasonable person in command of his senses would even attempt. I am pleased to report that I checked this book out, tried a couple of the easier offerings, and became hooked. The "Beer and Onion Biscuits" will spell my death.
Deen's book is a fun read, and the recipies are really not all that difficult. And the food, while sometimes dressy, is hearty food, filling and satisfying. And I like the fact that Deen and her editors give "credit where credit is due" for these recipies, some of which were probably jealously guarded family secrets once upon a time. The book's overall construction is also user-friendly, although not accident-proof.
I will warn anyone, though, that Deen deserves her reputation as "The Queen of Butter." If you want heart-healthy fare, you had best pass this one by. And I really don't see where most of the recipies would remain undiminished by substitution. So, this is not the book for the diet-restricted, to say the least.
Excellent book, serviceable and delicious recipies. Enjoy!
Recommended.
