I bought this cookbook for a dinner club and so far, it's a great book. I have only tried 2 recipes, but they were fantastic and relatively easy. After flipping through the book I earmarked many more recipes that I would like to try. It's going to be a fun cookbook to use!

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy Food for Though Instead, January 1, 2008

This cookbook is what I would consider good but not great. I definitely do not like this cookbook as much as I liked the Birmingham Junior League's Cookbook Food for Thought. I would highly recommend Food For Thought whereas I have been disappointed by this cookbook.

This cookbook is definitely fancier and more money has been spent on elaborate color pictures and a hardback cover. However, the recipes are not as tasty nor as appealing. Whereas I often open Food For Thought for food inspiration, Tables of Content leaves me unsatisfied. I search through the pages but the recipes are lacking the appeal of those contained in Food For Thought.

While the pictures are gorgeous, I would skip all of the new fancy flair and spend the money purchasing Food For Thought instead.

This is a beautiful cookbook. The photography is lovely, and the recipes are luscious, and not all that difficult. They are hearty, southern fare with a gourmet spin. I could just sit and read the cookbook, and look at the pictures, but it inspired me to get off the couch and into the kitchen. It would make a fabulous gift!!
