Gone With the Grits: Gourmet Cookbook

Summary: Fun and funny cookery for grits lovers and wannabes.
Review: After trying various recipes from "Gone With The Grits," I can say that I was not just dissapointed, but also annoyed. Beware! Many of the recipes call for certain amounts of time to cook the dish or certain temperatures to cook at. Well you just about have to be a master chef in order to get some of the recipes to turn out correctly. Many times the dishes were too watery, too thick, burnt, undercooked, and so on. As for the quality of the recipes that turn out right, they are usually on the average side, with the very few exceptions being quite tasty (but loaded with fat and cholesterol). For those that go zealous about grits, you will probably find it acceptable. For those who moderately enjoy grits and are looking for recipes that please the mouth, go elsewhere. Besides the few good recipes in "Gone With The Grits," the only other reason to buy this book would be for the humorous cartoons throughout the book.

Review: I loved this book! It's the perfect gift for a grits lover or someone who should be. The biscuit recipe is one of the best I've ever tried. And the Grits Au Gratin is out of this world! Also don't miss the Seven and a Half Layer Bars and Carrot Cake! Grits make these traditional desserts more moist and delicious than ever.

Summary: Grits for a Yankee
Review: My daughter married a gent from Texas, and he is a "Grits Guy". Knowing nothing about grits I bought the book "Gone With The Grits". An eye opener for an oatmeal guy like me. Great and easy recipes, and even (to my surprise) tasty. If you need to know about grits, this is a fun cookbook to read.

Summary: A great souvenir from a great Southern cook!
Review: This cookbook would make a darling souvenir for anyone who enjoys novel recipes. Be sure to try the gooey butter cake. Everybody loves it, and you really can't believe it's made with grits. You'll also enjoy the witty cartoons. Really cute!
