I enjoyed this cookbook so much, that I ordered 2 more copies for my daughter and daughter-in-law. We do many parties, and the back of the books offers how much food to prepare for numbers of people.

As for the reviewer who returned her book because the biscuit recipe contains self-rising flour instead ... Read More
Rating:  - Blah!
This book is a great plug for canned soup companies. I expected better considering this is an "Inn Bible of Southern Cooking". This is just plain slop food.
