I inherited this cookbook from my mother and have found it to be my favorite! Lots of old-fashioned, down home recipes that are guaranteed to make your mouth water and bring back fond memories. Easy to follow. I was in search of another copy for my daughter, but she will have to wait! The best ever!

I inherited this cookbook from my mother and have found it to be my favorite! Lots of down home recipes that are guaranteed to make your mouth water and bring back fond childhood memories.

Our mother always used this book's recipe for the best and easiest peach cobbler I have ever tasted and that is why I purchased this book, just for the peach cobbler... Chefs can add this and that to tweak recipes but for good, old fashioned perfection you should stick with pure basics and this is the basic southern cooking I was brought up on and loved. The book disappeared when our mother passed on. Had my sister and I known its value (sentimental not monetary...although I am surprised how much this little paperback cost!) we would not have let this copy slip through our fingers. Apparently she also used many recipes from the "Princess" and we have really enjoyed just reading through this book. We no longer use Crisco or fat back and never fry foods but just reading this book brought back Sunday after church dinner memories and family mealtime. I will use some of these recipes again and introduce my daughters and their families to my own memory meals and I won't skip all the butter or cream or the ham bone. We moved to California when I was five and my mom picked up cooking all the wonderfully unique and ethnic dishes from the West Coast and although these are also memorable meals and fun times I suppose roots are roots and southern style cooking still brings a smile to my dining.

Princess Pamela is a hot mess!

I enjoyed reading her stories and advice as much as the recipes. I was glad that I was able to obtain an "autographed copy" of the book for less than $30. I don't think that the sellers realized that she had autographed it.

The authentic southern comfort food recipes are soul satisfying!

My favorite recipes include the peach skillet pie, pie pastry, peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler, peach dumplings, sweet potato cake, short'in bread, black eyed peas, potato salad, rice, etc.

I further understand that the restaurant was a great place to eat back then and I'm glad she documented her recipes in her book.

With gratitude,

Princess Pamela!

This is one of THEE BEST!! I'd been looking for it for a long time and finally found it on Amazon. Thank you Amazon, and thank you to the seller. The book is old, but all the pages are intact and readable. Thank you so much.
