If you love Paula like I do, or you are new to her delicious down home style this book would be perfect for you!!
I was THRILLED when it arrived... I curled up with it,read it cover to cover in a few hours, and was sorry that I was finished with it as A READ... But I still have the cookbook aspect!!! SOOOO, I'm NOT finished with it! For PAULA Fans, IT'S GREAT!! For southern cooking fans, It's Great!!For Holiday/Entertaining people, It's Great!!! I look at it as YEARS OF COLLECTING IDEAS & RECIPES All in ONE place!! I bought it because I LOVE HER STYLE, and I think everyone can relate to her....PAULA COMES ACROSS AS REAL PEOPLE!!!
what I loved about it was the price. If I bought the same book in a store it would have cost 3 times as much , and It was in perfect condition when I recieved it. What a great way to pass a little savings on to the customer. It's almost like a constant sale is going on , on ebay!
I bought this specifically to get her Hummingbird Cake recipe and was thrilled with all of the other wonderful recipes it contains. If you need a recipe for almost any type of celebration, this is the book to purchase. Her humor is delightful and her love of family shines throughout the book.
I was searching for a gift for a friend and she loves Paula Dean and wanted one of her Cookbooks. It was an awesome price and came NEW in package which was even better and my friend LOVED it. In fact I didn't hear form her for 2 days because she was busy reading and trying out a few recipes. Thank you for a wonderful product and for making a friends day.
Great Product, would recommend for all. If you like good old southern style cooking this is the one for you. MY wife keeps trying different items every week,
I love the simplicity of the recipes in this book, even the format of how they are written is great. I bought this book because I enjoy watching Paula Deen on television, her down to earth personality and deep southern drawl reminds me of the South where I grew up. The recipes included in the book taste, and look as good as they do on T.V. I plan to buy others.
As a Yankee transplanted to the south, this cookbook is fun and very easy to follow. I've made several recipes that were quick and easy and impressed my southern friends!! They even asked me for the recipes!! The book has a lot of pictures and stories behind the recipes. I highly recommend this cookbook for the beginner cook.
i bought this book as a gift for a friend at christmas,and she loved it. went by her house several times to find her reading and enjoying it. she has also been cooking some of the recipes, its a great book. i loved the way it had recipes along with stories, and qoutes from paula it seems like you learn alot more about the person writing the book that way. it was well presented and the cover shot was nice, but the best part is it was a gift that was wanted by the person who got it.
My husband is the cook around here. He loves Paula Deen's cooking style so the recipes she chose for the book really appealed to him a lot. The book is really nice looking on top of it, and it is easy to understand. The demonstrative pictures of the foods make mouthwatering eats just wonderful to imagine creating yourself. My husband is one to experiment with different spices and versions of excellent recipes....the basics in these shown are really fantastic. He is very happy with it.
I love this cookbook. Everything I made came out wonderful. The ingredients are ones that I heard of and most of them are in my pantry. Would highly recommend this to everyone!
Tried the Low country boil over Labor Day weekend and it was as good as stated in the book. There are so many things to try and trust me, they will be tried. this book is by far the best cookbook I've ever purchased which is why I bought the other Paula Deen books.
first of all, I love Paula Deen. I was looking for one specific rescipe. I found it. The rest of the book is great,because she writes things out in simple terms for everyone to understand!! In the near future,more than likely I will buy more of her books. By the way, I am Ann Hiley, Daniel"s wife. He bought this book for me. BRING HER ON!!
Love the recipe and the illustration. The recipes are good and the ingredients are ones you can buy at the grocery store. Like Paula's pearls of wisdom. The stories about her and her family. All around I just like Paula country cooking.
The cookbook was in excellent shape, but had a light stain on the front edge of the book....looked sort of like a coffee stain, but very light. I had intended to give it as a gift, but then decided to keep it myself. Otherwise, the book looked unused.
I love this book. If you have ever seen Paula Deen, you know that she is down to earth, both, in what she says and how she cooks. This book is the life story of Paula Deen and what she has gone through to get where she is at today. She has been through a lot of ups and downs and to read what she has accomplished through all of that is astounding. She is someone who you would love to be friends. I bought the book because I love Paula Deen. I wanted to know more about her personal life and this tells all. I hope you will love the book as much as I do.
The recipes are simple, but will wow everyone. I love that it is organized into "party" plans. I just need to pick the celebration and I have the whole menu.
Being a fan of Paula Deen's I am trying to get a collection of her recipies. I had made several recipies from this book and my friend wanted one also. I ordered this book from e-bay as a gift. I was very pleased with it and so was my friend.
I purchased this cookbook in particular because of the personality of the author, Paula Deen. She allows her true self to come through the pages of stories and recipes. I almost feel like she is in my kitchen with me as a try each new recipe. I am most pleased with results, as is my family. I have really enjoyed this purchase!
I purchased PAULA DEEN CELEBRATES! because I love ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Paula has done! She has a winning track record of scrumptious recipes, other great books, my favorite magazine COOKING WITH PAULA, and an adorable personality that shows in her writing and hit FOOD.NET television show. If you aren't a fan yet, watch her show a few times and you will be. THE PAULA DEEN SHOW. She is the sister/mother/best friend you may be missing. You will feel as though you have known her forever! WHAT AN HONOR IT WOULD BE TO WORK FOR HER!!
The CONTENTS that she and MARTHA NESBIT wrote is filled with simple-to-make DELICIOUS, beautiful recipes FOR SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS. One is better than the next! Included are MENUS to make your celebration food choices even easier if need be. Paula's longtime assistant, BRANDON BRANCH, gives decorating and display tips for each type of celebration that are RIGHT-ON FABULOUS! What is more fun is Paula's description of days-gone-by traditions and how food and celebration played a role in those memories.
This particular book has the most GORGEOUS COLOR PHOTOS. The cover is so cheerful with Paula in her orange blouse. I keep it on a recipe stand in my kitchen! The jacket is a mood brightener in itself. What fun to see a few of Paula's high school photos as well.
Easy to read on fresh white pages, it is a MUST for your COOKBOOK COLLECTION!

Another eonderful cookbook by this amazing woman--very well laid out and with plenty of meals to make your family and friends envious of your cooking skills. Everything this woman does is great.
I bought almost all of Paula Deen's cookbooks. ( I just wish I had her FIRST one. )
Her cookbooks are so simple to follow & EASY to understand. Some cookbooks tell you WHAT to DO. but not HOW to do it. That's where she helps. She explains things.
And none of her food is outragous or unknown to most. All dishes are down home.
They even make you feel at HOME. Remember, it's southern food. To me Southern Food = Comfort Food. :-)
