Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours

This girl knows her way around the kitchen thanks to her Mama who taught her well. All her recipes are tried and trues...try Kyle's Lemon Pound Cake which is irristable and the Barbequed Pork Ribs, they fall off the bone practically! Another great southern cookbook! Filled with colorful pictures of delicious food and family...

My mother was not a great cook. I have never really learned but by myself. My husband bought me a RR cookbook which I thought would be easy but was not so! I love this book. The first week I made four (4) recipes out of this cookbook (that is a record for me in one week). And they all turned out great. My kids loved the Chicken Broccoli Casserole, the "Kyle Leomon Pound Cake" (my 21 year old son almost ate the whole cake).. I made the "Trisha Homemade Chicken Salad" (again, gone in like 3 days)... I made the cooked the "Roast Beef with Gravy" (came out perfect, even tho I was about 1/2 hour late taking it out. I have four kids (and one 21 year old with a girlfriend) I cook alot. She really means it when she says the ingredients are easy to find in the grocery store. The other cookbook I called for expensive cheeses (like perconico reggionno or whatever)... this is a great econominical cookbook. I have never ever written a review for a cookbook, I am so happy with this one. This weekend I am going to try two more recipes ... I love this cookbook. I have purchased so many in the past that have really disappointed me.. this is right on the mark. And I really love the stories with the recipes.. they are fun to read and very insightful. I wish I was in this family.. I cannot wait if Trisha and her sisters publish another book, I would immediately buy it. I will get thru all the recipes in this book soon, like I said, so far, it is easy and every thing has turned out great (I plan on trying her rib and cole slaw recipe next week on the 4th of July).. Thank you so much Trish Yearwood for sharing your cherished recipes with all of us.

This cookbook is fabulous! So many of the recipes remind me of what my country grandmother used to make. I have already made over 20 recipes from this book and have liked all but one! I read it cover to cover like it was a chapter book and I had never done that with a cookbook before. Trisha makes you feel like she's writing notes just to you. I ended up buying two more copies to give as gifts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I happened to get a chance to read this book before I purchased it and could hardly wait to get the book on order. Not only are the recipes quick and basic, they were peppered with a somewhat homespun wisdom that is seldom seen in this field. "Ms. Yearwood" goes about the business of writing a cookbook with the same directness and passion that she interjects into her music. Yes, as some would say, these are not new or exotic recipes but they're standards and many are probably thankful to "Ms. Yearwood" for making them once more available.

GEORGIA COOKING IN AN OKLAHOMA KITCHEN: RECIPES FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS is an outstanding blend of Southern traditional dishes with a modern flair. From Uncle Wilson's Baked Onions made with sweet Vidalia onions and bacon to simple meat loaf and collard greens, dishes tend towards simplicity and ease and many full-page color photos are displayed throughout. As an added attraction, Yearwood's childhood memories are paired with the dishes, making this a top pick for general interest libraries including both Southern cooking and country music titles in their collections.
