The Glory of Southern Cooking by James Villas
This book is a must for anyone who loves good food, or loves to cook, or who just enjoys wonderful writing. It couldn't be better from a master cook and writer.
--Barbara Kafka
There're a lot of books on Southern cooking knocking around, but this one's a real keeper. James Villas knows his stuff, maybe better than anyone else in the field. His text is charming, his information fascinating, his recipes good and true. After reading this book, I now believe, as Villas maintains, that southern American cooking is our one legitimate regional cuisine.
--Paula Wolfert
Jim Villas was born to write The Glory of Southern Cooking, and this wonderful book is as much about keeping the faith as it is the best ever written about this highly regional cuisine.
--John Mariani, author of The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink
In case of fire, grab James Villas's book The Glory of Southern Cooking, and run out the door. It will not be necessary to replace any other cookbooks in your library because this one provides a lifetime of great food.
