Each chapter is about a family member/members and has a picture of them at the start of the chapter. I loved the stories and that Rick Bragg put with the recipes with step by step instructions making these old-fashioned southern dishes using measurements like "hand full", "dabsâ and âsmidgensâ.

There are lots of quotes that I wish I could share them all but going to just share my favorite one.

"Like a spell, a good breakfast can draw you from the bed no matter how dog-tired and drowsy you are, and make going back to sleep unthinkable, because a hot breakfast only lasts for a fine minute or two, whereas a cold breakfast can disappoint you all day, over and over again. Try to walk past a good hot real breakfast without regret. Try."

So much of this book reminded me growing up with my Grandma watching her cook.
Added to my all time favorites list.
