Summary: Fabulous, Easy and Awesome!
Review: Here's another Southern Living cookbook you can't live without. The recipes are gathered from regular folks and aren't overly difficult to prepare. However, they taste as if you've been in the kitchen for days. They're really that good. This book made me really want to take up cooking further and since I bought this book, that's what I've been doing. Their desserts are outstanding and the main dishes are just wonderful. I can't say enough good about this book - just buy it for whomever you need it for and you'll be on their best friend list!

Summary: Delicious Cooking Made Simple
Review: My cookbook collection has swelled to over 125 books. For growing lack of space, I made a resolution to feed my love of cookbooks with trips to the library and checkout books so that I could try them out and only buy the ones that I really love. This "Southern Living Homestlye Cooking" book was the first book I checked out. I began to bookmark all the recipes that sounded wonderful to me and soon found that I had chosen about 20 recipes in my first pass! I wanted some new ideas for a Christmas party I was planning. People are still raving about the Salmon with Tomatoes, Basil and Capers recipe I got from the book. Simple, fresh ingredients were combined for perfect success. This is what this book is all about for me. It has become one of my absolute favorites.

Summary: yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum . . .
Review: Now, this is my idea of a cookbook! Four hundred recipes culled from several thousand community cookbooks, which are an excellent source for "real" recipes, as opposed to the elitist, artsy concoctions of chefs in expensive restaurants. I.e., this is the sort of regional comfort food I not only like to eat, but am also capable of preparing: Peach Cobbler, Pecan Pie, Country-Fried Steak, Honey-Baked Chicken, and all that good stuff. On the other hand, I'm really not an okra person (my wife is), and I have no use at all for greens of any kind. But you'll also find Curried Chicken Salad, Three-Pepper Frittata, Orange Hummus here, none of which I would consider "Southern." The Beer and Tomato Hush Puppies turned out really good, and so did the idea of making French toast with English muffins (never thought of that). Shrimp Manale (with garlic and white wine) is a very simple dish, but excellent, and the Catfish Classique, made with vermouth, whipping cream, and chopped scallions, was a very interesting take on a South Louisiana staple. I don't know about making "quick" beignets from frozen dinner rolls, though. I got this book from the library, but I think I'm going to have to buy my own copy.

Summary: Excellent cookbook
Review: This is an excellent cookbook put together by Southern Living. I love many of the Southern Living cookbooks, but this is by far the best that I have used. It is well-organized, and has many great recipes for every day kind of cooking, as well as some more entertaining-type cooking.

Summary: Excellent cookbook
Review: This Southern Living Cookbook is unique and a must have because it's a volume of "400 Best Recipes" chosen from over 4,000 Southern Community Cookbooks (SL tested/tasted & approved). Plus, there's no "duplication" of recipes from other SL cookbooks, which you sometimes find if you collect them like I do.I think this is truly one of the "most southern" SL cookbooks I've seen. It's a treasure of recipes you'll remember from your childhood, or what I affectionately call "Grandma Recipes". The recipes are timeless and never disappoint! There's "comfort food", "sweet southern goodies", "quick and easy homestyle", "tastes like fried/but it's not" selections and more. One of my favorites is the chapter highlighting "10 Stellar Southern Favorites". The "Healthy Homestyle Cooking" Chapter provides nutritional analysis for each recipe, which I appreciated. Yet, I wish each recipe included this information. Despite that, it's a cookbook I highly recommend, enjoy tremendously and politely won't loan out!:)
