Summary: First you get THE JOY OF COOKING, then....
Review: ....you MUST have COTTON COUNTRY COLLECTIONS in your kitchen! These are the two most used cookbooks in my library. I have never had a recipe fail me lo these many years. I have given this as gifts for years as I'm getting ready to do right now through Amazon. Of course there are many "Southern" recipes in this wonderful cookbook, but I turn to it for all occasions. Many of the recipes offer suggestions for putting together a menu, which we can all appreciate! You'll find good basic recipes as well as special ones. And they are all so-o-o GOOD!

Summary: By FAR the best!
Review: As a native New Orleanian, I have always loved to cook. Most of the recipes I make are ones that have been passed on to me by friends from their families in the South. I received "Cotton Country" from a friend as a present and can honestly say that it is the best cookbook I know for those of us who love to cook recipes that are tried and true and really capture the way that great cooks in the South cook. The recipes are delicious, authentic and worth passing on. The very minute you get this cookbook, make the remoulade sauce, pour it over some boiled, peeled shrimp and imagine a Sunday afternoon at Galatoire's! Enjoy!

Summary: A treasured find!
Review: I bought my first copy of this book back in the early 80s. I bought my second copy of this book about a year ago. This is a must have if you like community cookbooks. The books is laid our well, and has a great deal of recipes. Many recipes are cajun style that we would come to expect from Lousianna. The book also contains a great many of other great recipes that we would eat everyday. This is a book I turn to when I want to bring something extra special to a potluck.

Summary: A real reference for Cajun and Southern cooking
Review: I collect cookbooks. Many of them sit on the shelf, and are used very rarely. However, this cookbook is in a very small minority of books that get used over and over again. I just bought my second copy, as the sprial binding finally gave out on my first copy. The only other cookbooks that I use as often as this one are Joy of Cooking and Fannie Farmer.

Summary: The best cook book in the world
Review: I have had this cook book for about 15 years. I told my mother about it and she loves it. My younger brother uses this cook book exclusively. Every recipe that I have tried is superb. Take my word for it, buy this book while it is still in print. You will not regret it

Summary: A favorite cookbook in my collection
Review: I purchased this book while living in Monroe back in 1973. My first cookbook and my most favorite kitchen companion. I have taken it with me to all the places we have lived the world round. I have to purchase a new edition since the first one is pretty worn out. However I plan to transfer all my notation to the new book and to the new ones I will purchase for the use of my four children.

Summary: Y'all come!
Review: I was first given a copy of "Cotton Country" when we moved to Monroe in 1977 from Chicago. Many recipes were new to us but I was excited about becoming a true 'southerner'. I have since tried many of the recipes and have enjoyed cooking as well as eating them. My cookbook has only a few of the original spirals left due to much useage. It is my favorite cookbook even though I have added many more books to my collection. We have moved several times since living in La., but I continue to reach for the 'Cotton Country Collection" and now that our daughter recently married, she received a copy. Best of the best!
