So many incredible recipes. I can't wait to try them all!!

As a child of the 50's, and being raised in the South, this cookbook is a walk down memory lane with foods that I can remember eating from my mother's kitchen.
As I am someone who is not experienced in the kitchen, the key (for me) are simple instructions I can follow, a thorough explanation of ingredients and how to combine them, and instructions written in such a way as to make me feel I can actually tackle the job in the kitchen.
Flagg's cookbook meets all my criteria and I feel that I could tackle many, if not most of the recipes without disastrous results.

It's probably cheeky to rate a cookbook before actually making any of the recipes, but this was a library book and my time with it is up. I will eventually get the lemon ice box pie and the key lime pie made though, at which point I will try to remember to update this. I will say that I read the whole thing cover to cover, folksy as it is, and it made me very hungry.

Love this book

Loved the movie and the cookbook!!!! It definitely takes you back to a simpler time. I’m a Pennsylvania girl but when I go to Alabama to visit relatives, it feels like I stepped into the book

I think I'll pass on the possum, but most of the recipes look pretty good.

Fun recipes and I loved going to Georgia and seeing the fictional place made rel.

Being a native Southerner I was ecstatic to find this at a local thrift store. Great compilation of authentic, down-home traditional cooking.

This is a great book of Southern classics... made even more special by mt Alabama friend that gave it to me.

This is my absolute favorite cookbook of all time. I collect cookbooks but have been in search of a simple, back in time, southern food cookbook. This would be a great gift for a college student or new bride. The recipes here are things my Granny made on a regular basis. In a time when all meals were made from scratch, families ate together, bonded over each meal. If you don't have it, I urge you to get it. You already have the majority of ingredients in your pantry.

Absolutely stunning
