 Good cookbook. Great stories
I enjoyed this cookbook. The stories that accompany the recipes are enjoyable and familiar. I am a Georgia girl and love to find new southern recipes. These are great!!

Great Selection for a New to Advanced Cook ( bluedoorimages )
I first saw a book review and article about the author in a local newspaper. The book was a gift to an outstanding cook who commented on the recipes; some old standards and some with a new twist. The storytelling throughout the book made it an enjoyable read! I would select this cookbook as a gift for anyone who is a foodie or has a selective taste for wonderful Southern food. It was a hit all around and brought many favorable comments from Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, and a few good neighbors!

Represents the author's expertise as an Executive Chef of a cooking school ( mwbookrevw )
From Lady Pea Salad and Sweet Tea Pie to Mustard-Rubbed Ribs and Blue Cheese Pecan Bread, SCREEN DOORS AND SWEET TEA: RECIPES AND TALES FROM A SOUTHERN COOK packs in stores and down-home cooking from the author's Southern background, includes a generous dose of color photos of completed dishes, and also represents the author's expertise as an Executive Chef of a cooking school teaching home cooks yearly. Any library strong in regional American cooking in general and Southern dishes in particular will find this a popular patron pick.

Screen Doors and Sweet Tea
This is a wonderful book. It has great stories and really good recipes. I am not a good cook, but could be if I followed Martha's recipes. I bought this book because Martha is a distant cousin of mine. I am from Yazoo City, Mississippi too. I am her mother's third or fourth cousin and knew the whole family when growing up. I would have bought it anyway because I love cookbooks from the South. It is the best cooking in the world along with Cajun cooking!! We are all proud of Martha. I would recommend this book to anyone especially people from the North to see how Southern cooks really do it. Bettye Vaughan Johnson

Buttermilk bacon pralines...
...how can you NOT love someone who'd dare to add bacon to classic pecan pralines? They truly are ridiculous, as she writes--ridiculously fabulous!
I had the pleasure of meeting Martha Foose at a dinner event that featured several dishes from her cookbook. Every one of them was outstandingly good, and I can say in all honesty, as a Southern girl who grew up eating deviled eggs, that hers are the best I've ever tasted. But the cookbook is more than a collection of great recipes; it's like a book of wonderful short stories studded with gorgeous photos and by the way, here's some good stuff to eat. I've given two copies as gifts, I'm about to order another one, and I'm sure I'll give it to many more people who love great food and wonderful stories.
