Man! You can really tell that this book was written in Baton Rouge in the mid-Seventies: half of the appetizers have mayonaise, cream cheese, or both as major ingredients, a lot of the recipies tell you to add msg, lots of canned/frozen foods in the ingredients, but at the same time (I assume due to the unavailablility of ethnic foods) the recipe for hummus tells you to make your own tahini by grinding up sesame seeds. For frightening examples of Southern cooking, check out the desserts section - not that many of them don't sound tasty, just frightening.
