This review is from: Ambrosia: A Deep South Mixture of Homes, Recipes & History (Hardcover)

Ambrosia contains some of the most amusing anecdotes about the South. With the Sweet Potato Queens, and the Ya - Ya Sisterhood so popular, this is a great companion!! The photography of Vicksburg Antebellum and Tour Homes entice you to spend your next vacation visiting the city, touring the homes, meeting the contributors, and sampling the food. I have yet to discover a recipe contained in this book that does not elicit raves from all I serve them to. We never have a cocktail party without Checkerboard Cheese and Crawfish Struedel. The South as a culture is exemplified by the homes and locations featured, the delightful stories told by the residents and the food which one friend of mine says "Everything has cream cheese, whipping cream or some equally rich ingredient". She's a dietician, but at my table her plate is always clean and seconds are a must for her. Ambrosia contains something for all book lovers.
