Reviews for "A NonSoutherner's Guide to Southern Food" by Tina Samuels

New review for cookbook author

(PRWEB) June 29, 2004 -- "No matter what side of the Mason-Dixon line you call home, A NonSoutherners Guide to Southern Food by Tina Samuels is a scrumptious delight: a cookbook well worthy of your kitchen; and this is not one of those it-looks-good-on-the-shelf kind of cookbooks either.

This is the kind of cookbook that will have flour dusting its cover, granules of sugar between the leaves, and grease spots on all the favorite recipes. In other words, this is a cookbook youll use. My wife has been cooking since she was tall enough to reach the knobs on the stove, and she says that the recipes youll find in this book are the kind you actually want to do. Just reading some of the entries will make your mouth water. Above all, you will enjoy the down-home advice featured in many of the recipes. Its like youve invited a good friend into your kitchen, and theyve come by to chat and to help make your meals turn out just so. The quotes at the start of each section are thought provoking and good for the occasional chuckle, and the stories attached to the recipes are fun to read.

Make sure when you get this book to read the appendix too. Youll find that the contributors are a lot like you: just down-to-earth folks trying to make mealtime a warm and happy experience."
