DESCRIPTION:
"Field Peas to Foie Gras" according to Gratiot5. I absolutely love this Cookbook! The majority of the recipes are for foods I grew up eating, as well as cooking, with a twist here and there. The "staging" of the foods is beautiful, and, the pictures and antidotes, oh so Southern. This Cookbook would make a wonderful shower gift, wedding gift, or grad.
