Sweet little cookbook

I was inspired to purchase this after I went to a luncheon and had the shrimp sandwiches. It is a sweet little book about the old south and Mrs. Whaley's philosophy about life. It ended up being a very nice Mother's day gift for my Mom and Mother in law.

for the I hate to cook crowd

What a joy to read Emily Whaley's relaxed approach to entertaining friends with good food and conversation. The humor keeps one turning the pages and the simple recipes appealed to my quick sessions in the kitchen. I bought the $17.95 hardback copy to take with me to Maine for the Summer so that I could easily refer to her superb selection of favorites. Both of Emily's books are great gifts for dear friends who enjoy gardens and good food....who doesn't?

The Best of the South

I adore this wonderful warm & funny woman and her wit! Too bad I discovered her before she left us. However, she lives on in her two books which are fantastic gifts for your favorite people. Her daughter also has authored a book on the plantation life of her gggrandmother. Enjoy!
