Paula Deen says it right up front: if you're dieting, this is not the food for you.
No, but it sure is tasty!
Classic recipes from Paula Deen's Savannah restaurant, The Lady and Sons, are all here along with full color photographs of several of the dishes. This edition also features an introduction by John Berendt, author of MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, which I thought was a nice touch. I did wish that it was in more of a cookbook format, it's hard to keep the...more

There were many yummy recipes in this gem of a cookbook. My favorites were the Farmer's Pork Chops, and the Chicken Georgia. The ingredients called for were readily available at any supermarket, and the directions were clear and concise. Many of the recipes are not calorie-conscious, so if you're on a special diet, you will have to adapt some of the recipes. Paula Deen loves butter, and is not afraid to use it!

Even though I love Paula (and her food!) I wasn't diggin' this one. I ordered it without realizing it was comb bound. It contains no pictures, which makes a cookbook more interesting to me. There are some good recipes in here without doubt, but I had the sense that I didn't know what I was getting into when trying them. I probably would have liked it MUCH more if the format had been different.
Classic southern "comfort food" cuisine. Not for the faint of heart...or anyone suffering from weight issues, diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Fantastic party recipes, sweets, & holiday fare also including some of Paula's best dishes from her restaurant. Reminds me of the childhood tastes from my Nana's kitchen!
Love Paula Dean. The recipies here are wonderful, especially if you like seafood as we do. Just need to make these as special treats -- many recipies here are lovers of butter, cream, sour cream..... no wonder they taste so good!
This cookbook is a staple in my kitchen. The Sweet Potato Bake is to die for! I bake the sweet potatoes first, replace the walnuts with pecans...and usually only add a fraction of the sugar that is called for the recipe.
While I like Paula Deen in general, I was disappointed with the overall quality of the recipes. I acknowledge my bias after just reading through a ton of stuff by Julia Child...but, when I see canned soup and ritz crackers as ingredients, I tend not to jump at the recipe.

I love her TV show cooking but found this book used too many soups, instant sauces in the recipes. Maybe for a absolutely new cook, this book would work. I was disappointed with it.
Made an amazing drunken sirloin roast from here. Everything I've made has been good... though I've added more salt than recommended... then again I'm an over-salter.
Yum! Not healthy at all, but sometimes I just look through the dessert section and think about how tasty the recipes would be if I actually made them.
It's a great reference on classic Southern American style dishes. So far everything I've prepared from this book has come out delicious.
My favorite cookbooks. I cook recipes out of these books every week! The price alone is worth one batch of the cheddar biscuits!
Several favorite recipes, but they are special occasion only recipes because of the high fat and calorie count.
I love her. I knew Paula before she was , well, Paula. I nice honest cookbook about and from the South.
Another classic southern cookbook; one of the most frequently consulted of my cookbook library.
I couldn't help but add this one!!! It changed my life - and my waistline- FORVER!!!!
Love her Southern cookbooks--

This is very often my go-to cookbook. Highly recommend each cook have a copy!
The Lady and Son's Mac and Cheese and Gooey Butter Cakes are the best!
Reeeaaalllly good tasting recipes, but they are sooo bad for you.
Too many recipes are high fat high salt.
Simple, delicious, down-home type recipes.
"Put some budder own it" - she's great and fun.
I loved Paula on t.v. for a long time...then I realized that most of her cooking is, unfortunately, based on mayo and cream of mushroom soup. Erg. Her desserts are okay, though. I found the recipes disappointing...why? I should have known what I was going to get. My fault, not hers.
Since I've switched to more, um, natural ingredients, this kind of cooking, while nostalgic, just doesn't do it for me any more. Sad but true.

The guilty-pleasure, home-cooking recipes of my Texas childhood are all here--cream of soup casseroles, totally decadent desserts, pecan pie and banana pudding. If you have a hankerin' for some down home, no-frills Southern cookin, Paula Deen's got it.
Dave's mom gave this to me, and I have to admit, the recipes are pretty good, even if some of them are exceedingly unhealthy, hahaha. Paula Deen's sentimentality really comes through, making her dishes seem special.
I like the 1st cookbooks of chefs the best. They always put in their best recipes that they have used forever. This book is just that. Have autographed cookbook and autographed picture.
I use this all the time. Great recipes for entertaining... when you have to take something to a social/event... when you need a good appetizer or dessert to take to a friend...
I live and die by the recipes in this book, yes you will gain 20lbs just looking at it but it's sooo simple and so delicious. I reccomend to all beginning cooks.
The first cookbook from Paula..and one of my favorites. This has so many recipes that I have used. Some of her best are in this one.
