I have had this book for a some time. I've used several of the recipes and my partner and I have enjoyed every one. If you are a fan of easy southern food, this cookbook is a good option for you.

I want to make 90 percent of the dishes in this book. I have another PD cookbook from years ago and I use it for five or six of my most favorite recipes so I trust this one will get some serious usage also. Bear in mind, these are mostly Savannah/Georgia/South Carolina inspired deep south recipes so nothing is low fat and all the ingredients are "real" (no sugar substitutes, no frankenfoods). This is how my Nana used to cook and I find it reassuring and comforting.

I had no idea who this lady was when I went to Savannah twelve years ago and now I have cooked almost everything in her book. This is how I grew up, on this kind of simple ingredient cooking. Easy to follow directions and definitely good food!

Canned soup in everything! There are 15 recipes in the poultry section. TEN of them contain canned cream of whatever soup. The only reason I even rated the book a 2 (instead of a 1) is because there are a few recipes in the bread and dessert sections that look interesting - and Do Not contain canned soup.

With an introduction of a short life bio and some helpful tips, The Lady & Sons, Too: A Whole New Batch of Recipes from Savannah is still full of calorie-laden recipes, but not as many (as the first book) tempting me to try.

As my friend Chris (who gave me this book for Christmas) says, "Everything is better with butter!"

Volcano Cake page 202...Yumm!

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only two recipes you need from this cookbook are her Banana Pudding recipe and Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes recipe. This was before she became obnoxious on Food Network in my opinion.

Not bad, but not good either.
