Lowest Price Screen Doors and Sweet Tea: Recipes and Tales from a Southern Cook

Over All Rating Reviews :

I just recently purchased this cookbook and as a lifetime southern cook, I found it to be an outstanding representation of our southern food. The stories and history included are fantastic. The photography is gorgeous. And, yes, the recipes are atypical of true southern cooking.

There are a couple of very unfair 1-star and 2-star review ratings about this cookbook and frankly in my humble opinion, they both should be totally disregarded.

All of the authors named in one 1-star review are cookbook authors who are from the same area of the south as the reviewer - as if to say that those are the only southern states that can offer authentic southern cooking! I beg to differ. This cookbook has fantastic and very authentic southern recipes in it and, in fact, this cookbook has many of the very same recipes in the other cookbooks that reviewer names!! It is not a fair review of this book, and I suspect he has not even read this cookbook. While I am a Mississippi gal just as Ms. Foose, I did not know of her prior to ordering her cookbook, and I would never go so far as saying she is better than any of the other authors Mr. Holmes names in his 1-star post, but certainly her recipes are just as good.

As to the other 1-star review, that at least sounds like that reviewers personal opinion, but the 2-star review? Well, all I can say about that snobbish attitude is I have a feeling that reviewer would not be happy with ANY southern cookbook if she would say something such as "perhaps I'd had enough of that Southern-fried folksy story-tellin' stuff" and then go on to slam Paula Deen and the Sweet Potato Queens. Well, perhaps she just simply was having a bad day, since that "story-tellin' stuff" is what the south is made of. (Could that reviewer really even BE from anywhere in Mississippi?? Bless her heart.)

Ms. Foose's book Screen Doors and Sweet Tea is a beautiful book, full of great southern recipes, beautiful photography, great stories and history you'll love and some pretty fantastic notes and tips to boot.

Bottom line ... if you want a southern cookbook to add to your collection, this is worth every penny, would be an excellent addition and I am sure you would not be at all disappointed if you love all things about the South.
