Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible: The New Classic Guide to Delicious Dishes with More Than 300 Recipes (A Cookbook Bestseller)

A brilliant cookbook and in excellent condition, it looks like a new book.Recipes are very easy to follow.

I love Paula Deen. In this cookbook I found yet again a wealth of southern food that I loved from my childhood. Each recipe includes tips or witticisms from Paula. I love that each chapter has a personal intro with stories about Paula's family life.

THIS WILL KEEP ME GOING FOR YEARS !!!

I came to know about Paula Deen through another recipe book I own, Jamie's America. When reading past reviews on Amazon before purchasing the book, one review mentioned that Paula Deen's recipes are similar to a section within Jamie Oliver's book and since I have fallen in love with Jamie's America I decided to go ahead and buy Paula's latest book, The Southern Cooking Bible.As mentioned in the first review, there are few pictures in the book. However I find the font, layout and colours of the book to be friendly and approachable, whereas some recipe books without pictures can seem slightly clinical looking (I'm thinking of Nigella's How To Eat as an example). Paula starts each recipe with a short blurb about either the origin of the dish or a family memory which gives the book a friendly feel and is great if you (like me) are interested in the history of food. She also introduces each chapter with details on Southern food traditions.I'm no expert on Southern cooking but I imagine that this book contains every important Southern dish in existence! It really is a bible and contains recipes from breakfasts to dinner party food, mac and cheese to pumpkin pie.....the list is endless.The measures are in American so I bought a set of cup measures for around £3- problem solved.It's a great book which I highly recommend for anybody with an interest in cooking and traditional American food!

Paula Deen is the queen of southern cooking, and it's easy to see why. These recipes are fabulous!As a word of caution, most of the recipes provide American-sized portions for large numbers of people - unless you're intending to freeze a lot of the meals, you'll probably need to adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Bought this as a present for a friend. She barely uses it for cooking but rather as a humour book to laugh at the outrageously unhealthy recipes in the book.

Paul Deen has put out her Southern Cooking Bible. It is a nice size, almost square. One wonders as you look through this what Melissa Clark did, she is given no credit for anything, except in the acknowledgments for helping to shape the book and on the cover.There are repeats from Deen's other cookbooks, especially `The Lady and Sons' and even some that were familiar from the Deen Brothers grilling book. There are 2 sections of 8 pictures, other than that, no recipes are pictured. There are some line drawings to diagram such as; rolling a jelly roll, and the chicken on the beer can. There are hints on many pages about sauces used in grilling, flipping fish, and tartar sauce. One of the hints is confusing though - she says to get shells out of crabmeat put it in the oven and the shells will turn red - most of the shells in crabmeat that are bothersome are the inner shells which are white and transparent and will definitely not turn red.She also has one or two sentences about each recipe and a few pages explaining each section of food. An introduction tells you about southern food. Her dirty rice is one of the best versions and easy too, so is her basic meat loaf, Beaufort shrimp pie, is also a winner.Types of recipes included are; starters, salads and slaws, soups and stews, brunch, egg and cheese dishes, pasta and rice, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish, grilling and barbecue, vegetables and beans, breads, quick breads and biscuits, coffee cakes, griddle cakes, and doughnuts, pies, cobblers, and crisps, cakes, cookies and bars, puddings and frozen treats, candies, preserves and beverages, sauces, dressings and relishes.If you want help with southern cooking this is a good resource, especially if you are a fan of Paula Deen. However there is a southern living cookbook that gives more basic recipes and different versions of many southern dishes rather than just one version of a southern dish. Both would add to a cookbook collection.

Fab book! Love it!

Wonderful Southern cook book.Bought this as gift to replace our daughter’s book she lost in a house fire

Great cook book with many helpful tips and good recipes

I have alot of cookbooks, and am a serious cook/baker. I am not easily impressed and pretty fussy about cookbooks and their content, but this one is a must-have. I was impressed with pretty much every recipe throughout the book - this woman knows how to make good down-home food. (I'm not saying these recipes would qualify for health-food, but they are seriously tasty - you can easily adjust them to suit your own needs.)It is well written and easy to follow, with dashes of Paula's wit thrown in here and there. I love this cookbook, and highly recommend it.

Enthält viele schöne Rezepte, könnte ein paar Bilder mehr enthalten. Die Küche geht quer durch den Süden der USA mit ein paar spanischen, italienischen Einflüssen. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Buch

Came you on time in excellent condition. Thanks
