I have bought and given this book away so many times that I have lost count. I lived in the south for only a few short years and came to love the people and their great foods. So when I moved west, I insisted on this book riding in the car with me. Every recipe in it can be trusted to be the hit of whatever the occasion might be. I don't plan any special meal without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern Cooking to Thrill Your Family and Friends, February 21, 2002

I received this cookbook as a wedding shower present. With the exception of the bath towels I also received, it is the shower present I have used the most in almost thirteen years of marriage.

While some of the recipes are traditional Southern cooking such as fried chicken and biscuits, that is by no means the extent of Cotton Country Cooking. The recipes reflect the diversity of cultures that make up America, and in paricular, the South. There is everything from Creole to German cuisine in Cotton Country Cooking. My personal favorites include Sweet and Sour Meatloaf, Banana Nut Bread, and Boiled Custard.

Are you tired of cooking the same thing over and over for your guests? Cotton Country Cooking is an excellent resource for when you entertain. If cooking is not what you enjoy, there are several easy and foolproof recipes for those times when you just can't get out of having to make something.

In this age of convenience and fast foods, why not treat yourself and your family and friends? Try the recipes in Cotton Country Cooking! They will taste the love.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Regional Cookbooks Ever, December 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cotton Country Cooking (Spiral-bound)

Recipes are totally reliable and there's an amazing variety. All were tested before being accepted for inclusion. Written before concerns about sugar and fat really hit but baked goods recipes can be easily adjusted by reducing sugar or fat by one quarter to one third. Have been using this cookbook for more than twenty years and was delighted to find it still available.
