The author's name is Crescent Dragonwagon......I knew anyone with a marvelous name like that could actually do a cookbook all on cornbread! I was a happy camper to recieve this gem! Ms. Dragonwagon did a lot of research on the subject of cornbread. People love it because it is very versatile, and very American and comes in as many forms and shapes as American's themselves! This is a wonderful collection from all over the country. She includes not just cornbread recipes, but the "go withs" from greens to beans to everything else. Some of her recipes are Truman Capote's Family Alabama Cornbread.....Vermont maple Sweetened Cornbread......Chou-Chou's Dallas Hot Stuff Cornbread.....Sweet-Savory Cornbread Stuffing and even a Very Lemony Gorgeous Pound cake! These are just some of the great things inside this book. She hasn't forgotten Hush Puppies or Spoonbread! If you really love cornbread, as I do, then you need a copy of Ms. Dragonwagon's "Cornbread Gospels"....Amen!Read full review

It is newsy, it is chatty, it is informative. Every single recipe you could ever want or use for cornbread. I am a northerner, and what I didnt know about cornbread would fill about a dozen cast iron skillets. Incidentally, I now know a lot more about cast iron skillets after reading this book. Crescent's books are treasures. I recommend this and the PASSIONATE VEGETARIAN. J
Full of great recipes, features. Nice gift item.
