This is a great cookbook with a lot of information about Birmingham and beautiful photographs. All of the recipes I have tried have been exceptional. From easy weeknight dishes to more gourmet - a wonderful cookbook. The 2006 Southern Regional Tabasco Community Cookbook Award Winner is the perfect gift for a new bride, a cookbook collector and everyone in between.
