Best of the Best from Alabama

By: Gwen McKee

Cook up some down-home southern comfort straight from the Heart of Dixie!

Picture magnolias blossoming, their gentle fragrance coming through the dining room windows, and a menu of Red Pepper Bisque, Walnut and Garlic Linguine, Sweet Potato Muffins, and White Chocolate Butter Pecan Cake. Or a picnic on the banks of a slow-moving river, red-and-white checkered blanket, the best of friends, and a basket full of The Best Fried Chicken, Corn Salad, Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges, and Tomato Pie.

You won't find these easy-to-make recipes in just any old cookbook. But you will find them in this unique collection of over 350 outstanding recipes from eighty-two of Alabama's best cookbooks. And, as a special treat for collectors, every featured cookbook is listed with ordering information.

The original Best of the Best from Alabama, published in 1989, was the eighth volume in the acclaimed Best of the Best State Cookbook Series.

With more than two million copies sold, this series is known nationwide as the definitive source for state and regional cooking. This all-new edition continues the mission of Preserving America's Food Heritage.

"Great recipes, nicely laid out. Bought for a friend that just moved to Bama. She loves it!" --Krystal
