I am from Oklahoma originally, though I now live elsewhere in the US. I bring this up because I often miss the recipes that I grew up with, and finding a good source of recipes is sort of a mission of the displaced southern boy. Recipes such as a good remoulade, crawfish dishes, Zydeco style gumbo, Oklahoma cheese grits, and of course - sausage bisquits and gravy, are a staple for any southern chef's kitchen. So I was very pleased to see April Kelsey's book, "Southern Cooking: More than 250 Secrets Southern Recipes. I took advantage of the Unlimited membership to read this book. The following constitute my review and thoughts on the book.Basic Presentation: The book has a lot of recipes in a fairly short number of pages. This means you get lots of words but very few, if any, pictures of the prepared product. If you are the type that doesn't need a picture of each recipe, nor do you care how a studio/photo quality presentation looks, then this book is perfect. The presentation style chosen by the author is austere, yet it meets the basic levels for an attractive presentation setup. What I mean is that you won't see many pictures, but that with the clarity of the recipes you likely won't need any pictures.Great Descriptions: I'm not a fan of cookbooks that assume you are an idiot in the kitchen. They provide so many instructions that are superfluous, such as telling you how to grease a cake pan. April's book lacks that lowest level of description in order to provide more recipes in a single text. Had she gone the other way and included lots of pictures as well as detailed instructions on how to spray Pam on the bottom of a pan then you would likely have a book of 50 recipes instead of 250.
