5.0 out of 5 stars WOW your cooking with Jack Black, March 20, 2001

I have been cooking with Jack Daniels Black Lable Whiskey for many years. Today I was sitting in the isle of a book store looking at cook books and ran upon this unknown book. After spending at least a half hour pouring over it I was impressed beyond words. I realized that my cooking with this whiskey had only touched the tip of the iceberg. The book is beautifully laid out and written; the range of recipes is great and the pictures and stories rich with the Tennessee heritage. Of course I put the book back on the shelf so I can purchase it here at Amazon since the savings is much better. But I can honestly declare you will be totally delighted with the book and the great eating you will gain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Southern Cuisine, December 21, 2004

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. It's full of beautiful pictures and really great recipes.

As you might expect, it has lots of recipes with the sponsor's product in it, and of course, they are really good. The chocolate velvet cake with Jack Black and the "tipsy sweet potatoes" are definite keepers. But so are the many recipes from Miss Bobo's boarding house. Miss Bobo did not allow spirits on the premises. One of my favorites that always draws raves is the artichoke, spinach, and mushroom casserole.

3.0 out of 5 stars Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook, February 13, 2010

This review is from: Jack Daniel's Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook (Food & drink) (Hardcover)

I always love a cookbook with photos! This one has some black and white and some color - as a novice cook I rely on pictures to help me decide if I am going to make the meal and if I have done it right. This book was sent to me by Thomas Nelson Publishers for review and I was up for the challenge. After trying a few recipes I glad I had. I do really wish the book had more pictures and a little less text but overall it is ok. The essays in the book are a nice treat and the categories are easy to follow and understand. Overall I am glad to have this book in my cupboard!
