A memoir with recipes from the Southern cooking impresario (Food Network shows, restaurants, cookbooks, magazine).


I loved this book, but I love Paula Deen. She is one of my favorites on the Food Network. I love her cooking style, her personality, and her life. She was just a regular person that worked hard to get what she wanted. She believed in herself when no one else would. She had a family that backed her when she needed it. And her sons did more than the will ever admit.

I watched a Chefography about Paula a few months ago and was just amazed at what she had overcome to get to where she is. That show was just the half of it. This book goes through everything, the ups the downs, the good the bad, the stuff she is proud of and the stuff she is ashamed to admit. All of it is there.

She writes like she talks, Southern. If you are a stickler for grammar, don’t read this. If you don’t like the way she talks, don’t read this. If you love Paula’s show, read it in a heartbeat. If you want to know the story behind some of her favorite recipes, read it. If you want some recipes that haven’t been printed before, read it.

I really enjoyed it, and I hope that other people will take time to read it, too.
