 Southern living is unique June 1, 2007

Totally enjoyed this book - most likely I will never make any of the recipes - not if I want my arteries to stay somewhat unclogged. Having spent a large part of my late teens/early twenties in the South and with Southern Belles I roared at parts of this book! It truly captures the mindset of SOuthern Women of a certain age! Having attended a few funerals in the Delta I can tell you that this book is dead on!
 So very true! March 28, 2007
As a former resident of Greenwood, MS, I can tell you that this hilariously funny book is "dead on" true. Yes the pun is intended!
Great Laughs and wonderful recipes March 18, 2007

If you have lived in the south or have friends from the south you will just love it! Recipes are great and very southern.

A perfect mix of small town Southern humor and detail. I laughed at many of the authors' astute observations about the town's "correct" send-offs of their loved ones. The funeral faux paus are funny and the recipes are great. I know this sounds strange, but give this book as a gift. Anyone receiving this book will smile. If nothing else, they'll learn the differences between Methodist and Episcopalian funeral cooking and "correct" and "incorrect" music to use at the service.

Funny, funny, funny. And true, true, true! Funerals are "gatherin' times in the South". This book brings it all home. Great recipes (for funerals and other gatherin's).
