Best Southern Food Cookbook to date!, October 24, 2007
Jean Anderson, is among the most recognized culinary leaders in our country and after reading through her latest cookbook, "A Love Affair with Southern Cooking: Recipes and Recollections", and cooking some of the scrumptious recipes inside its pages, there is no doubt that Anderson is indeed, the most authoritative voice on Southern cuisine to date. Those of you who fell in love--as did I--with her "20th Century Cookbook" will recognize the familiar format with a clear chronology of people, foods, ingredients, and products--this time with a Southern slant--that Anderson uses to bring culinary history to life. Her recipe for Pimento Cheese is sublime, as is her rendition of a Gratin of Vidalia Onions. If you love grits and fried chicken, look no further than Jean's recipes for Grits Casserole and Pecan-Crusted Oven Fried Chicken--among the best I've had. There are way too many delicious recipes to mention here. We are all in for a real treat with her latest cookbook; it is bound to delight avid fans and enamor new ones. If you live in the South, this is a must-have; if you don't, after reading this cookbook, you'll wish you did.
