A Gracious Plenty: Recipes and Recollections from the American South Reviews
-
This is a dense, culinary history text. Sure, there are recipes, but I gleaned a lot more from the stories attached to them than the recipes themselves. It's nice to see someone chronicling real Southern food, which is typically a way of cooking taught orally, not through books. Getting these stories on paper is a way to preserve the true cooking of the South and give people a real look into not-always-pretty history of Southern food.

My all time favorite cookbook.
