White Trash Gatherings: From-Scratch Cooking for Down-Home Entertaining

I received this book in good condition, and the shipping was fast. I would buy from this dealer again.

As a southern girl living in California, this cookbook included some recipes I never expected to ever see in print. From family reunions to Fellowship Dinner at my grandmother's little Southern Baptist church, the book and the stories warmed my heart... or is that heartburn? Whether you're a Southerner or just enjoy some unpretentious time in the kitchen, this book is a gem.

The title might lead your expectations down a different road, but this book is truly a gem for cooks and non-cooks alike. It's a cookbook with recipes, yes, but what makes it special is the family stories that surround the creation and consumption of each. Morris' conversational tone paints vivid images of a tight-knit family and how integral food is in expressing their love for one another and their roots. Beyond the stories are recipes that are easy to make, fun to create and delicious to eat. You haven't lived until you've tried Maw Maw's West Virginia Funeral Cake. Dee-lish.
