"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."
