Description
Women in the South have been both frugal and extravagant in their baking, but it is usually delicious. Morgan Bolling has edited a terrific new book - When Southern Women Cook - with an introduction by the James Beard Foundation award-winning Toni Tipton Martin, published by America’s Test Kitchen. You will be intrigued, excited, and itching to get into the kitchen.
Besides 300 recipes, the book is stuffed with little essays about people and foods from the south, written be people who know. It is great read as well as easy to cook from.
All we have to do now is make sure that other regions have such a wonderful book to represent them.
