The Church Ladies' Celestial Suppers and Sensible Advice Paperback – November 1, 2005

I had high expectations for this book based on earlier review and expected to get some good home cooking recipes from the "Church Ladies." It is a good primer for people who want to know about more conservative, old-fashioned values and there's nothing wrong with that. However, the recipes weren't what I expected though there were a few good ones. The book was more geared toward moral and ethical philosophy and bios of the church ladies rather than recipes.

This book is a wonderful collection of recipes with Southern roots, prepared from scratch in the traditional manner for old-fashioned church gatherings. I am considered to be a good cook, but there are times when I don't have fresh ideas for daily dinners or for special dishes. This book provides a simple and convenient step-by-step method for creating delicious home cooking.
