Book Reviews of The Southern Cook's Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Old-Fashioned Southern Cooking

Book Review: Every female in your family needs this one!
Summary: 5 Stars

Southerners pour so much heart and soul into their food that sometimes they forget to measure. They are notorious for attempting to teach their offspring recipes while using vague terms like, a pinch of this, or a dab of that, or "til the dough feels right"(Thanks Mama!). Sometimes passed down recipes list ingredients without telling us exactly how to prepare the dish or maybe the author really didn't want everyone knowing their "secret". Courtney Taylor's The Southern Cook's Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Old-Fashioned Southern Cooking clears up these fuzzy areas for you. Not only will you have some scrumptious tried and true recipes, you will also learn some basic old fashioned skills that will help you apply today's tools and methods to all of your old recipes.

If you haven't prepared this type of food in a long time and you need to brush up on your skills, this book is for you. If you have never made a biscuit from scratch but would like to know how, this book is for you too. This is a must have cookbook for anyone who loves southern cuisine.

I highly suggest that Courtney Taylor's The Southern Cook's Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Old-Fashioned Southern Cooking be added to your shelf. Do your female family members a favor and order them copies as well. They will need it to translate your secretly coded index cards that make sense to you, but not to them.
