I purchased this Paula Deen cookbook about a year ago. It's the only cookbook I own of hers. I believe this is one of her earlier cookbooks, too. I really like it! Her secret weapon seems to be butter. Most of the recipes are not complicated to make and most of the ingredients are fairly straight forward pantry items. There are a few recipes that I would never have thought I would enjoy (Confederate Bean Soup page 25) but I have been very surprised to find that they are now part of my 30 day rotation meals. It's a great paperback cookbook.

I have already sent in a review. This is one of my most favorite chief's. I love 2nd hand books this way you can have the entire collection without much money. What a bargain.

I originally got this book because it had all of my childhood favorites that my grandma used to make in it. Paula's recipes are so similar to my grandmother's and now that my grandma is gone, I can't call her to make sure I have the right ingredients--but now I have it all written in easy to understand language from Paula. I first purchased this book about 7 years ago--lost my copy--and found it here on eBay much cheaper--awesome!!
I wanted the first cookbook of Paula's and was afaid that it was going to be discontinued so I got to looking. I was watching her bio and they suggested that it was going to be a collector's item also. I wanted to make sure that I got one. It really has some good easy recipes and good Southern Cooking! Some recipes that older generations made or it reminds you of your Grandmother, or just brings back childhood memories. The recipes are also user friendly, ingredients that you have in your cabinet or at least easy to find without having to go to a specialty shop to purchase and then only use once before they are no longer good. JUST DOWN TO EARTH COOKING.
I bought the book because she has been so muhc hype as to her cooking being totally southern and I am married to a southern man and thought this would be a great book. There are serveral recipes that I liked and will make. I also have a make a few of her dishes and I feel mine are a little better. But she is totally southern and I am not so the varioness of the ingredients she used are either more than I would use, such as using eggs in Mac and Cheese. The first time I made her mac and cheese I folloed the recipe by the letter. Once it was on the table we all agreed that you could really tell the egg test. So When I made it again, I eliminated all but one egg and it tasted better. I do intend to try more of her recipes. She is as cute as a button.
