Book Reviews of Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking

Book Review: Bon Appetit, Y'All
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best books on Southern cooking that I have in my library. I had the opportunity to work with the author, Virginia Willis, several years ago on a Nathalie Dupree cookbook. Virginia's storytelling is both eloquent and funny. Her understanding and love of all things Southern gives this book it's unmistakable charm, while supplying the reader with outstanding, well-written recipes. The color photos are beautiful. While deserving of a place on your coffee table, this book should be left right-at-hand in your kitchen as a great Southern foods reference guide.

Summary of Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking

Before she attended the prestigious French cooking school ?cole de Cuisine La Varenne, Virginia Willis had been shelling butterbeans alongside her mother and grandmother in her Georgia family kitchen ever since she could stand on a stool. These divergent influences inform her passionate homage to the cooking of the South. From simple starters and slaws to generous entr?es and desserts, Willis makes down-home cooking refined and haute cuisine friendly, with recipes like Vidalia Onion Soup with Bacon Flan, Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mama's Barbecue Sauce, and Hot Vanilla Souffl?s with Vanilla Ice Cream. Brimming with stories, tips, techniques, and gorgeous photographs, BON APP?TIT, Y'ALL seamlessly blends Willis's Southern and French roots into a memorable and thoroughly modern cookbook.
