My Comments:
Fans of Sherry Woods' Sweet Magnolias series know that much of the action takes place in places where food is served; whether in Sullivan's restaurant or around someone's table. Using characters from the series as "owners" of the recipes, this book gives you all sorts of goodies from breakfast to dessert (remember Erick is famous for his desserts). Though there is a definite Southern and Low Country accent to the food, I think most people will be able to find something they like in this book.
As I only have a temporary galley I am not making any of the recipes and cannot tell you how well they work. I will tell you that the book is attractive and contains some photographs, but it does not contain photos of all (or even most) of the recipes.
I find myself more drawn to cookbooks where most of the recipes are photographed... I'm not sure why.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good cookbook and I love the name of it, probably because magnolias are a favorite of mine. :)
