5.0 out of 5 stars Recipies Like Mother Used to Make, February 25, 2007

Even though this is the 2006 edition, myfavorite recipie is repeated from 2001, Chicken-Fried Steak. Not only is this my fvorite food, but it was a staple in southern Louisiana where I grew up, and in my Grandmothers house in Texas. Good chicken-fried steak is hard to find. Usually it's pan fried instead and greasy and mushy. Not this one, it's breading is crisp, crunchy, and spicy.

I also notice that their Cheese Grits (two varieties) use quick-cooking grits (bad idea) but then say you can use stone-ground if desired and increase cook time to 50 minutes. Most places don't even mention stone ground grits (oh so much better) and if they do they forget to mention that they cook slower. Unless you're extremely lucky you'll have to order these through the mail - I use Bob's Red Mill.

These are magnificant books. Not only do they give you some very good ideas about how to entertain for the holidays, but they also have several decorating ideas. This year it seems that the decorations are more home made than before, so there is really no reason not to have them.

If you have one of these books, you want them all, here's 2006.

I purchased this book for an 82 year old friend of mine. She always received this book from Southern Living every year since 1972. This is the first year she did not receive one from them. When she told me this I knew I had to purchase it for her. I went to several bookstores and decided to purchase it from Amazon. Needless to say this book made my 82 year old friend extemely happy. I know I will be borrowing it from her to try some of the fabulous recipes myself.

I am a cookbook junkie & Southerliving cookbooks are my favorites....I love their dishes, recipes, tips & most of all the TOP RATED receipe section in each of their annuals. The only downside to the annuals is if you are a new cook & love photos- there are not going to be as many as you'd like.
