Summary: Swoon-worthy!
Comment: What a fresh & unique voice to discover in the cookbook aisle -- I was so charmed I paid full-price! (And the recipes are fabulous, too.)
As someone who longed for an MFA of her own but is now in culinary school studying pastry arts, I couldn't possibly be more appreciative of Mr. Jackson's talents, unless he provided color commentary all day long while I baked. I will without doubt be purchasing his other efforts, both literary & culinary.

Summary: Can't agree with other reviews here, alas
Comment: I wish I could. I love cornbread. And Jeremy J has impeccable credentials (Missouri farmboy grew up eating/loving mama's cornbread, recipe given). The recipes here are pretty good, some very good, mostly classic, a few innovative. Though directions are sometimes sketchy and less than clear (if you are a novice cook especially, you could use more detail) the experienced cook will do fine. So what's my beef? The same voice the other reviewers found "hilarious" I found grating, sophomoric and self-conscious, a sense of trying too hard to be clever. My reaction to this was so strong it put me off. But, as you can see, others liked this very thing, so there you are. In writing, as in cornbread, I reckon preferences and opinions run strong. To each his or her own.
Rating: 5
Summary: Read it and eat!
Comment: I confess to not having tried a single recipe yet, but this book gets five stars from me just for the read. Jeremy Jackson is the next Edouard de Pomiane - very, very funny, surprising, smart, literate, and enthusiastic. Even if you hate cornbread (one word, note), you must have it. Buy it, read it, laugh out loud, and preheat your oven to 350F, because you, like me, will be dying to pup a butter-slathered hunk of cornbread down the hatch before you get half-way through.
