First of all, the Deen Brothers (Jamie,Bobby) cookbooks are Fully illustrated and easy to read than their Mother's! The print is easier to read! Their recipes are better and I think they come right from their restaurants! The book is entertainig and the recipes are ALL excellent! I have been cooking Paula Deen recipes now for quite a while. I also purchase her mixes and the chocolate cake- cookies mixes are wonderful. Most of all of the Deen's cooking tastes like old-fashioned recipes --- but with loads of calories! If you don't like butter-----eggs-- forget it, but everything usually tastes like professional chefs recipes! Great book - I would suggest ALL of the Deen Brothers books to purchase!
Since I have enjoyed their food network show and always enjoy seeing them on their Mama's show - Paula Deen, I purchased their newest book. It was so good that I just had to have this one. I am happy that I did as I actually believe I like this one even better. The stories are interesting, their versions of the road tasted recipes are great, and the layout flows well. I am cookbook collector not particularly interested in staying in the kitchen cooking all the time. My love of reading is fulfilled with the added bonus of always finding several recipes that I also love. This one did not disappoint me in any way.
This cookbook is filled with interesting tales about different parts of the country and recipes that anyone can follow and serve. The one particular thing that I so like about the Deen Bros. and Paula Deen is that they use ingredients that are easy to find and recipes that are not too difficult nor time consuming for the regular housewife, mother, etc., to make and serve to the family or quest. Would recommend any of the books by Paula or the boys!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Love the Deen Family, and I love 2nd hand books, always get a great value. I ordered this book and already had one in my file. Will keep or give to a friend.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The Deen boys are great. I called this review " Just Like MaMa " but they have their own story. The both worked hard for their success even though Mom helped. They have great recipes which I plan on using. And my son, has a brand new grill to practice on. The book I have bought is for him. Make sure you check out the meat RUBS in this cookbook. Especially for Steak & Chicken. Susan / sedge1057
