5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful recipes, a book filled with taste and heritage, March 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Confederate Cookbook, The: Family Favorites from the Sons of Confederate Veterans (Hardcover)

The Confederate Cookbook is the star of my cookbook collection. The recipes, family favorites of Sons of Confederate Veterans and their ancestors, are the best. Photos of those ancestors and chronicles of their service to the south make this a must have book, not only for cooks, but for anyone interested in preserving Southern heritage. I gave one as a gift and treasure my own copy.
