Family Secrets by Hilda Cooper
Rating:
1 / 5
This is the worst cookbook I've ever seen. There are misspellings, missing ingredients, missing measurements and missing directions, as well as incorrect grammar. There are no friendly comments or notes accompanying the text and no index at the back of the book. I doubt its authenticity as to the background of the author and her mother as indicated in the introduction. I cannot recommend this cookbook to anyone.
Big Book of Southern Recipes
Rating:
5 / 5
With over 500 pages of delectable dishes,this book is sure to fill a large space on my kitchen book shelf. It contains many of the recipes for foods I experienced as a child. It is well written and, unlike most cookbooks, conveys a warm sense of nostalgia though charming pen & ink illustrations. A family cookbook written with love.
A New Classic

5 / 5
This should be in everyone's kitchen, right next to the Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks. I'm giving this to everyone for Christmas this year, and I'm giving it as a standard wedding present from here on. There are recipes in here that you will not find anywhere else, unless you have your great-great-great grandmother's recipe collection, and even then, I bet it's not as complete as this book.
