Synopsis
Containing 1,100 recipes, The Cotton Country Collection is a classic among southern cookbooks. It has been listed by USA Today as one of the top five regional cookbooks in the United States, it is one of the most comprehensive cookbooks found anywhere, containing triple-tested recipes from Louisiana’s legendary kitchens. This book truly takes you back in time, and exudes “Old South” hospitality throughout, reminding one of grandmother’s kitchen. Many of the recipes are staples, while others are gems you won’t find anywhere else (i.e., Mrs. Don Irby’s “seafood crepe pie” or George Smellings’s pages-long discussion of game meats). What’s more, there is something here for every occasion: dinner parties, casual luncheons, summer suppers, and plenty of those spur-of-the-moment snacks and treats. In addition, the little illustrations and watercolor prints are charming works of art. The cookbook has been inducted into the McIlhenny Hall of Fame, an award given for book sales that exceed 100,000 copies. All contributors are named.
