This book lists some noteworthy places to eat across 13 of the southern states. The book is broken down by state. Within each state is listed an average of a half dozen places to eat that are worth pulling off the freeway for. Listed under each restaurant is the address, phone umber, email address, a brief description of what makes the place worth stopping at, a description of the cuisine and atmosphere, its specialties, and an insider tip (whether or not to make a reservation, etc). Then, each restaurant has shared one or two recipes from their menu for you to try!
As far as the recipes go, I found that many of them had ingredients that I'd either never heard of or don't ordinarily stock in my kitchen. This was not a huge surprise to me as I stock a fairly simple, down-home kitchen with mostly just the basics and I know that. But I'm not sure that I will get much practical cooking use out of this book without adapting the recipes to use ingredients that are either available in my town or that I already have on hand. That said, there were some yummy looking dishes (from appetizers, main courses, and side dishes, to salads and desserts)! I will be sure to try at least a few of these tasty treats in my own home!
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze blogger book review program and am under no obligation to provide a positive review.
