With Paula Deen at your side in the kitchen, you’ll not only laugh a lot, but she’ll spill a lot (though not all!) of her secrets for keeping disasters from spoiling the party and generally making it look like you whipped up this fabulous food without breaking a sweat. With six new recipes, a load of tips, blank pages to record your own hard-won wisdom and cut-out recipe cards to share your triumphs, this is as indispensable to your cooking as Paula’s fried Country Ham with Red-eye Gravy is to a Southern Sunday mornin’. Want to know how to skin the fat off the soup stock, discourage bugs from takin’ up residence in your flour and much more? Need the perfect gift for the home cook in your life? This book has you covered!

I love the idea of this book! Not only do you get Paula Deen you get your family leaving recipes and thoughts for future generations. Most of us do not have one item that has been handed down from previous generations. In my early memories I remember we had a family bible but I have no idea what happened to it. This book gives that back to my family. My husband, my son, and I leave great recipes in our own writing but what was going on the day we served it. I hope my grandchildren get to see this and add to it. This is what cooking is all about. The family meal, most important word would be family.

Had I known it was more of a personal journal I probably wouldn't have bought it. I love my other Paula Deen cookbooks and was hoping this was going to be more of her journal in the kitchen growing up with her mother and grandmothers.
Not sure what to do with it as I an not much of a journal writer.

I also have all of Paula's cookbooks, and have given many as gifts! I liked this one, but then I didn't expect it to be Paula's "personal journal" as some have said in their reviews. It's a "recipe journal". Something to write recipes in, for yourself or to pass on to a child or grandchild someday. I love Paula and I loved this idea too!!

I was very disappointed about this book. It's more of a journal and that's not what I was expecting.
