The Southern Living Cookbook: From the Foods Staff of Southern Living Magazine (Southern Living) 14 reviews
Oxmoor House, 1995
The Southern Living Cookbook
I purchased this cookbook a number of years ago for myself when I was still a bachelor. I already owned a copy of "Joy of Cooking" but found that it was more helpful as a reference book rather than an everyday cookbook. I initially chose Southern Living Cookbook for three main reasons. First, I found the pictoral preparation instructions to be VERY helpful, straight-forward, and understandable. ...

Southern Living Our Readers Top-Rated Recipes (Southern Living)15 reviews
Oxmoor House, 2005
Three "Keeper" Recipes the First Week
I own a LOT of cookbooks (more than 400) and am both a serious home cook and an inveterate "arm chair" cook. Some cookbooks are great for reading; some are great for cooking. A very few are great for both. This one fits in the latter category. But even more importantly, EVERY recipe I've tried from this book during the first week I owned it, deserved to go into my "keeper" box--things I'll ...

The Complete Do-Ahead Cookbook: Southern Living (Today's Gourmet)6 reviews
Oxmoor House, 1993
A Tried & True Find
The time saving tips you will find here are worth their weight in gold. I like to entertain but still have enought time and energy left to enjoy my company. This book teaches you how to prepare foods well in advance so you are not running around at the last frazzled minute before dinner guests arrive. I had a Christmas part for 60- prepared all the food myself and did minimal preparation that ...

Southern Living Landscape Book (Southern Living (Paperback Oxmoor))5 reviews

Inspiring!
As a gardener just venturing into landscaping, I found the brand-new SOUTHERN LIVING LANDSCAPE BOOK inspiring and encouraging. It is packed with beautiful color photos and ideas for creating a wonderful home landscape. Granted, a few ideas are beyond my budget (not to mention, it would take me many, many years to achieve those results!), but lots of the plans have elements that anyone can ...

Devil's Own Work, The5 reviews
Alan Judd
Knopf, 1994
An engaging little fable
Its been said that the extraordinary Jack Ritchie wrote entire novels disguised as short stories. Alan Judd seems to be able to do the same thing. This story is "fat-free", stripped of all nonessentials, a taut, high grade piece of work. At 115 pages, this book can not be confused with a door stop, nor would you want to use it as such.
The Devils Own Work is the story of a writer possessed, ...

Southern Living Annuals & Perennials
What a fabulous resource! I've been taking Southern Living magazine for 20 years, and am continually inspired by the displays of floral color in each issue. The book begins with a lengthy section on how to use flowers in landscaping for year round effectiveness. The bulk of the book is taken up with its greatest feature: highlights of over 75 of the most popular annuals and perennials to ...

Gotta buy!
While helping a friend with her newborn twins, I made a few recipes out of the Busy Mom's Weeknight Favorites that she received as a gift but had not tried yet. There are so many great recipes, I just had to go buy my own copy. We loved the Bistro Chicken Pizza and the Butternut Squah and Bacon soup. The recipes are quick, easy, and taste great. Extraordinary cooking skills and elaborate ...

Portions of it were known early on as the Pacific Highway or the Valley Route or the Golden State Highway. However, in 1928 these various bits were sewn together and ...

Celestine Sibley
Peachtree Publishers, 1985
A priceless southern treasure
This book represents the special value system of the south, so aptly captured by Celestine Sibley as she speaks of her daily experiences and kindnesses to people, nature and her profession. She speaks with an honesty and humor that is uplifting and full of sentiment. She has a great ability to describe the environment so well that one thinks he/she is walking with her along the wooded paths. ...

The 50 Best Small Southern Towns4 reviews

An Essential Resource
Most people spend more time planning where to spend their vacations than they do deciding where to spend their lives (or their retirements). Fortunately for us, the authors of this book have done a huge portion of the legwork for us: finding the best small southeastern towns, evaluating them through a set of clearly defined and excellent criteria, visiting each one, and gathering relevant ...
