Reviews
"This is one cookbook I would proudly have in my kitchen! It has great information and wonderful recipes!" --Paula Deen, Food Network host and bestselling cookbook author "Martha can truly cook. Some familiar but never predictable recipes-pimiento cheese, gumbo, cornbread-besides being too good to leave out, are joined in this sterling cookbook with many others less commonly seen but no less superlative, all unmistakably Southern, like Delta hot tamales, for example, or West Indies salad (from Mobile, circa 1940s), salmon croquettes, biscuits with tomato gravy, and black bottom pie. Her book is one to be cherished, shared, and consumed."-- John Egerton, author of Southern Food: At Home, on the Road, in History "If you've got a rocker on the front porch, get into it; if not, settle into your favorite chair. In either case, fix yourself a long drink and give yourself the pleasure of spending a little time with Martha Foose on her Mississippi farm before you head into the kitchen. Martha is that delightful combination of charming storyteller and darn good cook and in this book you get generous servings of each-both are delicious." --Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking From My Home to Yours "Martha Foose's Screen Doors and Sweet Tea is a treasure-chest of superb recipes like Green Chile Rice, Lady Pea Salad, and Sweet Tea Pie. And her stories of growing up in Mississippi have the unmistakably Southern cadence of tales swapped across the dinner table. The book has given us a new appreciation for the genius of Delta cuisine, and even better, it has us yearning to cook, gather friends, and tell stories." --Matt Lee and Ted Lee, authors of The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook "This book takes me back to the things I loved about my childhood in the rural south. I can't wait to get copies for my mother and aunts. I love it." --John Besh, chef-owner of Restaurant August, Besh Steak, Lüke, and La Provence "This is it. The real thing. Honest eats. And diverting tales. From Martha Foose's Mississippi Delta, that queer and otherworldly land of catfish and cotton." --John T. Edge, author of Fried Chicken: An American Story, "This is one cookbook I would proudly have in my kitchen!

    Bought a book from them and it was supposed to come on the 25 and it is now the 28 and it still hasn’t came. When I check my gmail it says that it’s paid and that’s it. I contacted the seller and no answer from them. Very bad experience won’t be buying from here again.

  • Back to my roots....

    I really like this cookbook! It has beautiful pictures of the south along with traditional recipes for such things as okra and salmon croquets, something my grandparents and mother has made for many years but you don't typically see on restaurant menus. I just made the glazed carrots and they were easy and delicious! I don't care for the venison recipe or anything with lamb or veal but overall I am pleased with this purchase.
