This review is from: A Treasury of Southern Baking: Luscious Cakes, Cobblers, Pies, Custards, Muffins, Biscuits, and Breads in the Tradition of the American South (Paperback)

This is easily the best home baking book I have used. The only complaint is that she uses salted margarine but she does add that you should add a pinch of salt if you must use unsalted butter. Oleo is the traditional fat. The recipes are clear and easy. She uses self-rising flour in some recipes but also tells how to make your own. A few are clunkers but there are some real gems here: full of freckles pound cake, meltaway blueberry coffeecake, and devil's food cake are just a few great examples. BUY THIS BOOK!
