Selected Recipes from Oklahoma's Favorite Cookbooks.

When the editors titled this `the best of the best' they weren't kidding. They have taken some of the best recipes from other Oklahoma cookbooks and combined them. The result is this wonderful cookbook full of easy, delicious ideas!

Although I enjoyed the Native American pictures and the drawings (they are beautiful to look at), I have to say my eyes had to first take in all the recipes, yum-yum. We have the usual contents from Appetizers to Desserts. The variety of recipes is wide; they are not focused on only what's considered Oklahoma cuisine. You will find a recipe for Clam Chowder right along with one for Rabbit Stir-Fry (haven't tried that one, I prefer petting them to eat them).

I promise you it doesn't matter where you live, you will enjoy trying the best recipes in Oklahoma. Brenda @ MyShelf.com

I picked up this cookbook on a trip to Charleston, and I find myself using it over and over. The recipes are drawn from many different church, community and locally-published cookbooks throughout South Carolina. The result really gives one a flavor of the state. I have tried many recipes and haven't had any failures yet.

I loved the seafood when I was visiting the state, and the seafood recipes in this book are great. I especially like the crab stew and the Lowcountry Fettucine (fettucine with a variety of seafood mixed in).

The non-seafood recipes are also wonderful. Parmesan Picnic chicken travels well, just as the book promises, and the Stuffed Shells Florentine has become a favorite with almost everyone in my extended family. I also especially enjoyed the recipe for the authentic Lady Baltimore Cake - time-consuming but delicious.

As with the other books in this series that I have tried, I would recommend this one highly!

The cookbook is full of wonderful basic recipes for all types of dishes. It also includes several nice delicacies for entertaining, special dinners, etc. I have grown up in the South and find this is a great guide to keep me in touch with my roots and the great meals we shared. The book is well written and wonderfully illustrated with pencil sketched country scenes. Many recipes are personalized with comments from the provider that give it great personality without taking away from its main objective; Great Food. My hats off to the editors and all of the contributors!!

This cookbook is the finest book I've come across with down to earth Texas Cuisine. That I remember from my early childhood.
