I really enjoy the recipes in this cookbook. I also have the Best of the Deep South, and I greatly enjoy these unique recipes as well. I know I will have something unique to contribute to potlucks, etc. I received a confirmation email for my purchase, which stated I would receive a shipping email as well. Which I didn't, but my purchase still arrived in a timely manner; a shipping email would have been helpful as it was a last minute Christmas gift. I do feel these cookbooks are quality products.
