Summary: easy to use, easy to read, delicious to make
Review: I first saw Ms. Sanders on Cooking Live on the Food Network. I was amazed at her Easy Peach Cobbler recipe, so I looked it up online and tried it out. I really didn't think peach cobbler could be so easy to make until I tried her recipe, and to tell you the truth, I'm not a baked fruit fan and I never really even liked peach cobbler since all I've ever had was cafeteria and buffet cobbler. It was my first attempt at making cobbler, and it came out just right. The recipe was nearly fool proof and insanely easy to make.I gave myself a sample of my first homemade cobbler and all I can say is this- I never liked peach cobbler until I made Dori's cobbler. I love it now. I ran out and bought Dori's cookbook right afterwards. The recipes presented in Dori's book are all relatively easy to make. It's southern cooking made non-southerner friendly. I come from an Asian background and my husband's and I are both from California, so we're the sorts that don't know what Creole is, and the only icon we can name of southern cooking is Emeril Lagasse. This cookbook has been a dream, though. It's absolutely delightful! As another commenter noted, don't start your diet now. This is comfort food, very delicious soulful food. Like I mentioned with the peach cobbler, I'm not a big dessert fan and I never liked anything that resembled fruit pie, but oh my goodness, I downed four servings of that cobbler until I couldn't eat anymore. I've been trying to make all her recipes, finding occasions that would best match them, and all of them have come out better than I expected. It's truly a wonderful cookbook when you can't wait to try making something new from it because you've had such delightful experiences with all the past recipes. Cooking is a joy with this book, and you don't have to be an experienced cook to enjoy making these recipes. Mothers, girlfriends, wives, husbands, sons, and fathers, if you're looking for good recipes that'll make quality food that'll wow your family, give this cookbook a try. If you're looking for a few recipes to try before making the commitment of buying this book, Food Network's webpage offers free recipes Dori shared with Sara Moulton during her guest appearance on Cooking Live. Give it a try, and I'll bet you'll be back for more!

Summary: Emeril Would Call It "Food Of Love"
Review: I saw Ms. Sanders "plugging" her book on Food TV and was captured immediately. She seemed to be the kind of person you would love to have as a neighbor. After checking out the book, I'm ordering her other two. The recipes I have tried are wonderful. They bring back treasured memories of favorite aunts and their country cooking of my childhood. Her background narration for the recipes is an added bonus. Don't miss this opportunity.

Summary: Dori Sanders and Her Books
Review: Not only can I give Dori Sanders' books a positive review, but a review on Dori herself. I recently met her at her peach farmstand in Filbert, South Carolina. She greets you as if you are an old friend in her warm and friendly manner. She speaks eloquently, her words flowing like a butterfly floating on a breeze. I'm sure she has never met a stranger. One word describes her best: Genuine. She is proud of her past, her life and her accomplishments in a humble sort of way. She is a real treasure and it was an honor to meet her. Nancy

Summary: Don't Start Your Diet Now
Review: Well written recipes that produce delicious dishes. I made several recipies from Ms. Sanders cookbook and they were all fantastic. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought it for my aunt. These recipes are for simple, comfort foods -- foods that will make you smile and reach for a second (or third) helping.
