1: Author Did Her Homework
I can attest that the author did yeoman's duty in the research for this book! The author became a member of our Brunswick Stew Crew during a competition in Richmond ... and with her culinary background she easily manuvered her way around the Stew pot with the rest of the Crew.
The book is an enjoyable read balancing some of the original manuscripts of the WPA writers in the 30's with updated information from the author ... including some good recipes.
If you enjoyed hearing stories from your parents and grandparents about regional cuisine from yesteryear at church socials, political gatherings, and the like this would be a good addition to your library.

2: Ok - Kind of interesting
Lots of information that is germane to the era and no longer works in current society....but is was somewhat interesting.
|
3: Makes Me Hungry!
This book makes me homesick for some great food and fun times at the county fair! Well written, with interesting old photos. Interesting to learn about traditions in food and fun around the country.
|
4: Fresh, appetizing!
An entertaining and educational read, likely to spawn much culinary experimentation and perhaps regional exploration.
|
5: On the Road!
What a way to spend the summer! all of the good food, the bad and great philosophy of american food!
