As an avid collector of cookbooks - I am always on the lookout for a great new one. I was very impressed with "Notably Nashville"! Not only were the recipes fabulous, the information about Nashville and nearby areas was fantastic. As a dietitian I am always looking for new recipes. Notably Nashville (although full of great southern traditions) had numerous healthy recipes for those of us who are watching our waist line. I recommend this book to cooks of all levels and anyone who enjoys a great cookbook!

Notably Nashville is a cookbook on which I have come to rely. Each and every recipe is delectable and easy. Everything that I have prepared tastes as if I slaved all day, yet that is never the case. I am constantly asked for the recipe's I prepare. Some of my favorites are the Phyllo Sausage Cups, the Summer Peach Pie, Minnie Pearl's Chess Pie, and the Goat Cheese Dip. Notably Nashville is a treasure trove for any cook, a novice or one that is well seasoned!

I have tried many of the recipes in this cookbook and all turned out great! Some of my favorites are the Summer Peach Pie, Toffee Bars, & Glazed Ginger Pork Roast. All of the recipes look delicious. These are recipes that the average cook can make and impress dinner guests or just their family. There is a great variety of dishes offered and they are not super difficult to make successfully. I will be using this cookbook for the rest of my life! I've given it as gifts many times. I am proud to add it to my collection.

Notably Nashville is that rare cookbook that effectively blends interesting information about Nashville (historic, cultural, etc.) with recipes that give the cook a traditional taste of the South with enough updated twists to keep it interesting. I use this cookbook when I'm looking for something special or just something my family will like. Personal favorites are Marinated Cheese, Cornbread Salad and Showhouse Chocolate Pecan Pie. I highly recommend it to all who use and enjoy not just Jr. League cookbooks - but all cookbooks. A great addition to the collection.

The Notably Nashville Cookbook has quickly become one of my favorites in my cookbook collection. I especially like the Mexican Roll-ups, Bacon and Cheddar Pinwheels, and Not Your Mother's Ham Biscuits. Every recipe that I have tried has turned out really well and has gotten rave reviews!

This cookbook is absolutely beautiful! It is packed full of easy recipes that are delicious. The toffee bars are my favorite!

Dont be fooled by the high prices. This great cookbook is still in print and available for $28.95 at the Junior League of Nashville www.jlnashville.com and Davis Kidd Booksellers. Happy cooking and my favorite recipe is the broccoli salad.

A must have for anyone who collects cookbooks or loves fast, easy, and delicious recipes. Makes a great gift.

I gave a copy each to my mother-in-law and my grandmother for Mother's Day. They LOVED it! They rave about it whenever we visit and my Canadian grandmother loves the Southern recipes to try.

A compendium of superb recipes, cooking tips & local history well designed & beautifully illustrated.
