Blue Willow Inn Bible of Southern Cooking Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This cookbook is a wonderful example of what southern cooking is all about. It has basic recipes which are simple, traditional and flavorful. I have searched for some of these recipes for years and finally found them in this wonderful cookbook. Best cookbook I own!
Gettin' supper on the table

I am a stay-at-home mother of two girls and a former Home Econ teacher. I looked this cookbook over three times before purchasing and I just couldn't walk away without buying. The cover and photos inside are beautiful, the layout is efficient and clear, and the authors look like people you'd love to have as family. These recipes are not fancy and probably wouldn't do for a lovely dinner party. But if you want recipes to gather family and friends, this cookbook should be on your countertop. I like the quickness and ease of prepared foods as some of the ingredients. My youngest daughter helps in the kitchen and if the recipes were too hard or time consuming, we wouldn't have as much fun cooking together. Plus, since we live in a rural area all the ingredients used are things we can find. Gratitude to the authors for a wonderful book.
Every southern recipe imaginable.

I definitely love Southern food. Most recipe books will have a couple Southern recipes here and there but not really what I was looking for. This one has everything!!! Most recipes are simple and delicious and don't take a long time or require lots of ingredients. A great cookbook for the novice to expert cook. Everyone should add this to their collection.
great cookbook

I think this cookbook is great. I have given this book as wedding gifts numerous times. It never fails that someone else who sees it wants to know where I got it. It is great for the new cook because the recipes are easy to follow and contain basic ingredients that most people have on hand. It also brings back memories of grandmother's special treats. The Lane cake was always a traditional Christmas cake, and the Tea cake cookies were decorated for us kids every year. This book is filled with all the basic good food that we grew up with.
