Comment: This book is an excellent reflection of Southern food and living. The recipes are well done, traditional with that wonderful southern flare. The Forgotten kisses recipe is out of this world and well worth trying and sharing with friends. Ellen Rolfes has a history of excellence and heart in all she does. Bravo to her in this amazing accomplishment she has added to her list of great publications in and behind the scenes. Happy to see her name in print and getting the accalates she deserves for her fabulous creations. Looking forward to more in the future!

Summary: A treasury of the best of old-time southern recipes
Comment: This is a cookbook I turn to all the time. I get homesick for the South (where I grew up) whenever I look at these evocative black-and-white photos that reveal vistas into the Southern way of life -- the church supper, the front porch where someone sits shelling beans, the hot and steamy kitchen where dinner rolls sit rising. I also love reading the reminiscences in this book written by various Southerners. All the essays make my heart ache, but one especially took me back, to the long hot summer I spent in the poor black town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, in the midst of the civil rights struggles of the Freedom Fighters. Most importantly, these recipes are real, culled from community cookbooks, and representative of the best of Southern cooking, from humble water-and-cornmeal cakes to the ethereal Forgotten Kisses served at the finest luncheons. Just the other evening, I made Aunt Effie's Custard Johnny Cake for the first time, having heard it described as one of the best recipes in the collection, and I have decided that this one recipe alone is worth the price of the book! Mmmmm-mmmmm. This book is a must-have for lovers of good Southern food.

Summary: Definitive book on southern cooking
Comment: This is truly the definitive book on good "down home" basic southern cooking. Author Ellen Rolfes has done a wonderful job intertwining stories which she calls "meal moment" which will make you reflect upon your own memories of special times around the table. I come from a long generation of southern cooks and many of these recipes were reminiscent of my family. Excellent book, chocked full of recipes and well worth it!
