- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a beautiful, soft cover cookbook full of delicious recipes of the south using fresh ingredients found from the garden, u-pick farms and road side stands.You'll find lots of photographs of the recipes on many of the pages. The author always includes a small blurb above the recipe highlighting her feelings about the meal, how often she makes it, how she serves it, etc.Another treat to this cookbook is that it highlights those fresh farm ingredients. There is an entire page dedicated to honey, which local southern farm sells it and lots of interesting things about that ingredient. You'll find highlights on cucumbers, goat cheese, peaches, tomatoes, onions, pecans, grits and grains, pumpkins, blueberries and many more items.Scattered throughout the book, are names, addresses and websites of some great farms and farmer's markets located throughout the South. I only wish I wasn't so far off here in the Pacific Northwest! Despite that this book focuses on southern cooking and southern farmer's markets, I love the recipes and the farm fresh foods that were used. The photos were great, too. No matter where you live in the U.S., you can find great farm fresh ingredients to make any recipe in this book. If you love food, then you'll also enjoy reading about those highlighted ingredients. That really made this cookbook a keeper for me!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of a Southerner's favorite meals is a slice of juicy, ripe homegrown tomato on a fresh, hot butter biscuit! I could almost taste that biscuit and feel the butter and juice from the tomato on my chin as I read "Farm Fresh Southern Cooking: Straight from the Garden to Your Dinner Table" by Tammy Algood. What a wonderful book! Beautifully produced on thick paper with colorful photos and helpful insights, this book is just the right size to be holdable and readable. As I write this in Spring, our Farmer's Markets here in the States will soon bloom with gorgeous produce and other seasonal offerings. However, at any given time, somewhere in the world, garden goodness is ripe for the picking and fruit orchards offer a bounty of delights. "Farm Fresh Southern Cooking" encourages you to go fresh, go local when possible, and go for the gusto of food prepared and served the way it was meant to be enjoyed! These recipes are literally a "return to the roots" of good food from good earth. I am not a great fan of black-eyed peas, but when I saw the photo and recipe for "Pea-Picking Salsa", I wanted to dip a pita chip right into that page! "Roasted Bacon Pecans"--heh-heh--pecan, butter, bacon, sugar, and salt--heh-heh!!! "Garden Vegetable Soup"--no meat at all--just gorgeous veggies and veggie stock, kicked up with added white wine. If I list all the marvelous ingredients in the "Sweet Potato and Shrimp Chowder", you might just start to cry from longing. "Hot Bacon Dressing over Wilted Greens" is an absolute Southern Classic--really! "Twice As Nice Corn Casserole" is so darn good, you must have at least two servings. "Parsnip and Tart Apple Puree"--a most perfect accompaniment to a pork main dish. "Baked Parmesan Catfish" will set your whiskers to twitching with its crusty, salty goodness. "Orchard Fresh Peach Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting"--have mercy! "Sweet Cherry Dessert Sauce" made with cherry brandy or liqueur--can you imagine the sinful goodness of this sauce on rich, dense, homemade vanilla ice cream! "Savory Zucchini Pie"--a crustless "quiche"--quick-mixed all in one bowl. "Summer Fruit Watermelon Smoothies"--fresh watermelon blended with ice, lime juice and raspberry sherbet--even just thinking about it is refreshing! Tammy Algood has written a delightful, delectable book that brings back many good memories to this Southerner's heart! "Farm Fresh Southern Cooking" is a sure pick when you are in the market for cookbook treat!Review Copy Gratis Thomas Nelson Books
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have to say I LOVE cook books. I have bought so many that I now have a way to choose what I look for in a cook book. I will list what it takes to make me both buy and use a cookbook.1. They must have pictures of the food! I am not talking little clip art pictures I am talking about a goal as to how the end product should look like and sometimes even to inspire me as to what I should serve with it or how to arrange the food on a plate to make it not only a feast for the tummy but also the eyes .2. The ingredients (and this is a must) need to be accessible at the grocery store (and by this I mean an everyday plain ol” type of store that can be found even in a small or tiny town) or from a farmers market or just my garden.3. The cooking should not need extra fancy cooking devices there will never be any molecular style cooking in my kitchen. 4. Recipe must be delicious. I truly want the people eating the food to love it! I like it when I can see they do that makes me happy. I also want them leaving my kitchen thinking she is a good cook (I know a little vain of me but this true). The Farm Fresh Southern Cooking by Tammy Algood gave me just want I wanted almost. While not every page has most do. I have tried just few of the recipes and they were both easy and delicious. I love the fact that she has, just like the book’s cover states recipes that the ingredients come “straight from the garden to your dinner table”. The recipes truly take me back to my time spent in Georgia. The food is truly southern and fills your tummy with the yummiest of yummy. They also make me feel like it’s something my grandmother and great grandmother would have made, so I feel love when I made the recipes. The breads in this book are so good by the way. The book has it all from appetizer to canning instructions. The book is even a soft cover and is inviting. Get this cook book and enjoy your first reading with some good ol sweet tea and have fun in the kitchen. I give this book a rating of 4 stars. I received this book from Book Sneeze in exchange for an honest review. The review I have written are my opinions.
