Heritage of Southern Cooking

Summary: Even a Yankee can cook good with this one!
Review: Around 1987 an acquaintance of mine purchased this book. He didnt get much of a chance to use it though. After I got a hold of it I read it so many times.. the recipes and the stories. I actually got a cozy feeling of home sweet home and got hooked on the southern hospitality of it all. I started cooking many of the recipes and to my surprise they all worked like a charm and without a glich.I was hooked!
I mostly used the book for some old fahioned recipes that had a bit of a twang to them. I especially liked the shortening bread, mincemeat,and pickle recipes. Last but not least...I value the bits of information throughout the book that I still rely on today.It is now the year 2004 and I've been living in Europe for 12 years without this book but still use many of the recipes that I had gotten from it. I think its time I buy my own book. I reaaly miss it!
This book is well written, enticing,and most of all delicious!

Summary: Excellent book for anyone who enjoys cooking.
Review: Camille Glenn has created a masterpiece of Southern Cooking, I'm serious. Each recipe has just the right amount of added tips and narration that make you feel like Ms. Glenn is right there with you in the kitchen. I'm a novice cook, but every recipe I've made from this book has turned out really well.
