Product Description
For the first time in a beautiful, gift-quality hardcover, the beloved cookbook by the Food Network superstar–with 5 million copies in print!
Down-home and downright delicious, the recipes in The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook have become classics of their kind–Southern meals from the heart of Georgia and the heart of their wonderful creator. Paula H. Deen has owned and operated The Lady & Sons restaurant for almost twenty years–and the tastiest starters, main courses, and desserts on her menu are now available in a stunning keepsake edition of her bestselling cookbook.
The Lady & Sons is more than an institution; it’s an inspiration. Paula started the place newly divorced and with the creditors closing in. Enlisting the help of her devoted sons, Jamie and Bobby, she turned it into a runaway success and a symbol of pluck, perseverance, and plain hard work.
Here are the delicious fruits of their labors–hearty appetizers from Pecan-Stuffed Dates to Pickled Okra Sandwiches; mouth-watering dinners like Red Snapper Stuffed with Crabmeat and Foolproof Standing Rib Roast; and such devilishly good treats as Praline Pumpkin Pie or Tunnel of Fudge Cake. Plus breads, sides, sauces, and more . . . complete with mouthwatering color photographs.
For family suppers, parties, or picnics, these easy-to-follow recipes will be hard to resist–just like the elegant new edition that contains them.

 Great Cookbook! October 13, 2008
This is my favorite Paula Deen cookbook.It has down-home style recipes using ingredients you may have on hand, or can find easily in the grocery store.No fancy ingredients (in these recipes) the family won't eat, just good, plain, home cooking recipes.My Mom borrowed this cookbook and had so many pages bookmarked that I bought her one for herself (this purchase)! Enjoy! :)
 Would be better with a nice photo. April 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The only reason I don't give this five stars is for lack of pictures (I know, I know, but what can I say? I like a visual and there's not a single photo in the whole book). I made a dutch oven dish that was wonderful. Absolutely one of the best dishes I've had. Paula Deen isn't for everyone though. She's very country, which means she uses a lot of cream, butter, etc, etc. She's not afraid of going over the top, so discretion is advised. However, she is accurate in saying that butter makes everything better and these recipes are no exception! Also, this isn't 'thirty minute meals' by any stretch of the imagination, so if you're looking for something quick you might check elsewhere, but if you have a little bit of time these are some good old fashioned recipes.
Great "Comfort Food" cookbook! February 18, 2008
I am a big fan of Paula Deen's show and decided to get this book after trying some of her recipes. The recipes in the book are easy to follow, and are full of wonderful flavors and textures. A word of warning, the recipes are not for those who are on any type of strict diet. She even mentions in the forward that these are recipes that are not meant to be made with a bunch of "low cal" or "diet" substitutions. They are just good, easy comfort foods meant to be enjoyed and remembered. This is not the type of cookbook that I would use every night of the week, just because the recipes do tend to be a bit more heavy in fats and sugars, etc. I think to enjoy this book you need to have the attitude that this type of food is great once in a while, and when you cook a recipe from it, make it the way she tells you! Just decide to have some good ol' comfort food and do it in moderation. So far there has not been one recipe that my family has not enjoyed- they are all good. A nice addition to my cookbook collection. Enjoy!
Good Recipes February 8, 2008
This is a great little book with some very good Southern Recipes. If you like Paula Deen you will like this book. My only dissapointment was no pictures. Am a very visual person and would have enjoyed seeing end results on paper. Most recipes are just plain ole' down home which I enjoyed.

How does one take skill such as Paula's and put it in a book? Oh, shucks, I'm starting to sound like our reporters who cannot report a story without asking a question. Forgive me. Paula has done it again. Her cookbooks have become a family favorite set of the absolute best and quite easy recipes. Being from the south is not a requisite. It is only a place where some of the best foods come from.
