When I picked this book up locally to browse through it, I knew I had to have it. I bought it on Amazon because I knew for a large hardcover, a local store couldn't beat the price. I could hardly wait for it to come! I had already had dinner when I got it, but it wasn't a half hour before I eyed the fridge yeast rolls which are rising overnight right now. The dough came together easily... I had it in the fridge before my husband noticed I was making it even though he was talking to me the entire time and I can tell you it's looking more than promising. I love Southern Living, but just like cooking shows or searching the big websites, with limited access to new recipes that may or may not be in the mood for, or too much access to too many recipes to browse through, it can get really frustrating when you're trying to get inspired. With most cookbooks, no matter how much I love them (I adore you Paula Deen) I just find the scope is too limited to provide inspiration unless I'm in a particular mood. This is a great answer to my recipe slump! Yes it's a southern cookbook, but not in the stereotypical sense. There's of course a healthy nod to classic southern cooking but also a huge, but also an adventerous variety of recipes from various styles and flavor combinations (but always with ingredients I can get my hands on, of course). Of course, nothings perfect. As mentioned by a few others, the organization is pretty terrible compared to most recipes. They did divide by the nature of the food (breakfast, yeast breads, and beverages all have their own section rather than organizing by date of publication in the magazine). However, the sections, for reasons I don't understand, are arranged alphabetically so that pastries come between meat and poultry! Still, the organization can't beat the fact that I can't open to a spread of pages and not find at least one recipe I would love to have (and make). I'm not kidding, I tried this and only once did I open to two catfish recipes and a reference page (I'm not crazy about catfish) and even then I'd easily break one of them out during Lent. My husband tried the same... he's as excited as I am. This ones going on my surefire hit for Christmas gifts!

Must have for any kitchen. Have given as gifts to each of our adult children.

This is a perfect Recipe book and is easy to follow! Absolutely delicious recipes!

Originally I was going to buy this book for my daughter purchased for myself and refuted and really liked the recipes and like the easy to explain reading in love the pictures so I think I will purchase again for my daughter can have for her home. I originally had the Southern living cookbook from 1990 and learn to cook from it and use it as my food Bible reference for all of my cooking needs so this is an updated version and I’m very pleased with it

My cookbook arrived damaged and the outer packaging was not damaged, so the on the bottom of the front and back book covers I do not know when and how the damage occurred. The seller Media Neat did not want to give me a full refund but wanted to give me a 40 percent refund, so I wrote them that I paid for a new book not a damaged book, so that eventually gave me a full refund but they told me to keep the damage book free of charge. The book is nice but I prefer new books.

My wife bought this book when we got married over 50 years ago and she found it on Amazon still available so she bought it for my granddaughter who is learning to cook. My wife has used hers so it’s almost worn out, but it is a great cookbook she holler recommends it.

There is a good mix of recipes. If you prefer to cook from scratch, most of the recipes are from scratch. However, there are a number of recipes that call for canned soup, or processed cheese food, or other processed ingredients. There are many informational pages about food and pages where cooking skills are taught step - by-step.

I have been a fan of Southern Living cookbooks for years and this one is the BOMB! Comprehensive, excellent layout, user friendly, practical information; tips, tricks and recipes. I will be purchasing more for my family members. Highly recommended!

Sent as a gift to my Southern family who live in the U.K. They are delighted and plan to fix an entire meal from it straightaway.

I have made several recipes from this cookbook, they have been fantastic, and I will be making more. I love their shrimp recipes especially....... after all it is Southern!

It has such a wide range of dishes from snacks, to desserts to mains, to party food, to baking, to drinks. You name it, it's in there.

Great book, lovely looking recipes and great service from the Seller
