Screen Doors and Sweet Tea August 11, 2008
This is a wonderful book. It has great stories and really good recipes. I am not a good cook, but could be if I followed Martha's recipes. I bought this book because Martha is a distant cousin of mine. I am from Yazoo City, Mississippi too. I am her mother's third or fourth cousin and knew the whole family when growing up. I would have bought it anyway because I love cookbooks from the South. It is the best cooking in the world along with Cajun cooking!! We are all proud of Martha. I would recommend this book to anyone especially people from the North to see how Southern cooks really do it. Bettye Vaughan Johnson
Buttermilk bacon pralines... August 9, 2008
...how can you NOT love someone who'd dare to add bacon to classic pecan pralines? They truly are ridiculous, as she writes--ridiculously fabulous!
I had the pleasure of meeting Martha Foose at a dinner event that featured several dishes from her cookbook. Every one of them was outstandingly good, and I can say in all honesty, as a Southern girl who grew up eating deviled eggs, that hers are the best I've ever tasted. But the cookbook is more than a collection of great recipes; it's like a book of wonderful short stories studded with gorgeous photos and by the way, here's some good stuff to eat. I've given two copies as gifts, I'm about to order another one, and I'm sure I'll give it to many more people who love great food and wonderful stories.
Love Southern cooking! August 9, 2008
I haven't had a copy of this book in my hands yet, but I would buy it (and I intend to) based on the title alone. My paternal ancestors all came from the Southern states, so I grew up eating a lot of southern food. I still drink Sweet Tea, but I miss Screen Doors, (and porches). I can't wait to get my copy of this book, so I can refresh my memory of foods I grew up on. (My comfort foods!)
A Winner! August 4, 2008
What a charming book! The recipes take me back to my childhood and my Mother and Grandmother's cooking...before we had to worry about cholesterol! Her family stories are an added bonus. Any Southern lady would love this book!
