I ordered this as a gift and almost kept it for myself. It is a very nice hardbound book, almost of the 'coffee table book' variety. I tried a couple of the recipes before I put the gift wrap on it...the Holiday Cake was wonderful. And the cornbread salad stirred up lots of conversation and requests for the recipe.

Beautifully illustrated with soft, pastel photography, Dining In The Smoky Mountain Mist offers a culinary wealth of recipes. The sections comprising this highly recommended cookbook compilation are: Tints of Spring (appetizers, breads, brunch); Shades of Summer (salads, side dishes); Harvest Hues (Entrees, Soups, Tailgating); Tones of Winter (beverages, desserts); Napkins, Knives & Knoxville (restaurants, celebrities). From Sour Cream Rolls; Cold Salmon Mousse with Cucumber Sauce; Boursin-Stuffed Chicken Breasts; and Sherried Crab Bisque; to Cajun Seafood Carbonara; Baked Brie with Elephant Garlic; Buttermilk Pie; Black Bean Soup; and Sesame Lace Cookie Bowls, Dining In The Smoky Mountain Mist is a truly elegant and highly recommended addition to any kitchen cookbook collection.

I bought this book when looking through various Junior League cookbooks. The recipes are all great. My favorites are the chicken pot pie and the crab dip. It also has a recipe that is perfect to prepare with kids called Cracker Candy. This book is a must have in your collection.

It is a beautiful hardbound book with excellent recipes! It has a great tailgating and brunch section as well as recipes from Knoxville celebreties and restaurants. Makes a GREAT gift!

As a member of the Junior League of Knoxville, and one of the many who labored to make this book a reality, I am very proud of the product. There are sumptuous recipes, beautiful 5-color photographs, and commentary. My two personal favorite recipes are the black bean dip, and stuffed pork tenderloin. And the most wonderful part of this book is that all the profits go to help make the community a better place.
