Product Description:
'IT'LL MAKE FOR SOME MIGHTY FINE EATING.'
--Fort Worth Star Telegram
After the tremendous success of her novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and the beloved movie that followed, author Fannie Flagg received thousands of requests from all over the world asking for recipes from the little cafe of her Alabama childhood that was the model for the cafe in her novel. Now, she joyfully shares those recipes, in what may well be the first cookbook ever written by a satisfied customer rather than a cook! Inside you'll find wonderful recipes for:
* Skinless Fried Chicken * Pork Chops with Apples and Sweet Potatoes * Baked Ham and Pineapple Rings * Baked Turkey with Traditional Cornbread Dressing * Black-eyed Peas * Fried Okra * Creamed Onions * Broccoli Casserole * Southern Cream Gravy * Fried Catfish * Scalloped Oysters * Down Home Crab Cakes * Beaten Biscuits * Corn Pones * Lemon Ice Box Pie * Kentucky Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie * And much more!
The recipes in Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook are all for delicious hearty happy food that comes with all sorts of things, from gravies to hot sauces (very often the secret's in the sauce). But most of all this food, and this book, comes with love.
'If you liked her novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and if you liked the movie they made from that novel, you'll like this cookbook....It's funny, just like Flagg.'
--Richmond Times-Dispatch
'Recommended...All the traditional dishes are here, along with the author's irreverent, irresistible commentary on Southern cooking and culture.'
--Library Journal

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - From the original (Whistlestop) Irondale Cafe, in Alabama
This seems to be a sequel to the first book originally written by Mary Jo Mc Michael (the owners) from the Irondale Cafe. This is where the original Whistlestop Cafe was based on in "Fried Green Tomatoes". These seem to be some of the Mc Michael's recipes from the cafe that has been in use for so many generations. Fannie Flagg's aunt Bess was the original owner and the current owners are continuing the tradition.
I love this cookbook, there are little passages throughout this book which ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome!
Wonderful cookbook and it's actually fun to read! But for some reason, I can't get the Old-Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese recipe to work for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Rating: - Down-home cookin'.......

Rating: - thumb's up for Fannie Flagg
She has captured the flavor of many dishes from my childhood!!
Rating: - Down-to-earth recipes
Down-to-earth recipes, with easy to follow directions, have made this cookbook one of my favorites. No fancy names or haute cusine -- just good home cooking. Perfect for those who have a "meat and potatoes" family like mine.
