"One of the South's most beloved cooking teachers generously shares the best recipes of her 50-year career. Heirloom favorites, regional specialties, and original dishes paint a gastronomic portrait of the South : Fayette County Chow Chow recalls the early days, Alabama Deviled Crabmeat and Mississippi Flyway Duck connote a party at the big house, and Camille's Golden Cointreau Cake welcomes friends to a lavish tea on the veranda. In an elegant yet down-home style, this vintage collection of culinary treasures celebrates the rich Southern heritage of gracious hospitality and sumptuous good food."--taken from back cover.
