Southern Cooking

Summary: A Must-Have for Those Who Read Cookbooks
Review: An absolute delight for cooks and historians; perhaps a little confusing for neophytes. I have the 1941 edition (not the current one) and find that some of the instructions a bit lacking if you aren't accustomed to cooking. On the other hand, the information in the preface to most chapters is invaluable - almost like having a grandma there to give you insider tips. It's also a great resource for hard-to-find recipes. If you fondly remember it from your (Southern) childhood, you're bound to find it here.

Summary: Use this book to learn how to fry chicken
Review: I have had a copy of Southern Cooking by Mrs. Dull for years. I loaned my old copy to someone and it never came back. You can't imagine how happy I was to find it again on Amazon. I love to read the book for the feeling of the old south that it conveys.

Since I live outside of the states now and very far away from my home in the South, I just like to pick this book up from time to time so that I can feel like I am at home. Some of the lessons in this book describe the basics of cooking that many don't get at home anymore.

The best cook book ever written.

Summary: She Won the Battle - I Won the War
Review: More then ten years ago when my wife and I were dividing up our property for divorce one of the few things we fought over was our yellowed, stained, tattered old copy of Southern Cooking by Mrs. S. R. Dull. My wife (now ex) won and took the book, much to my consternation. When I discovered that a brand-new reprint of the original was available I ordered it immediately and reintroduced the sorely-missed book back into my kitchen. The new one is printed on acid-free paper, so it'll probably outlast me. This cookbook must have been in just about every kitchen in the the state of Georgia during the forties and fifties. For any cook who wants to prepare delicious old-fashioned Southern recipes from scratch this book is still the best!

Summary: A must-have for collectors of Southern cookbooks
Review: This book is the classic tome of Southern cooking. If you are interested in learning "old-fangled" Southern recipes, it all begins here with Mrs. Dull's very famous volume. If you collect cookbooks and have an interest in Southern food, this belongs in your collection, whether for study or for cooking.

Summary: How I learned to cook.
Review: Watching my Grandmother cooking on a wood stove when I was young, that's how.

When I started cooking (after having a job that required extensive travel for a long time) I remembered some of my grandmother's recipes. Also, my mother had written some of them down.

But if I coldn't remember, I just picked up Mrs. Dull's cookbook and there was all you need to know about Southern cooking
