Book Description
Many of the bonds my family has were forged over the dinner table and through the sharing of recipes. Cooking is the way we express our love for one another….I feel so lucky and blessed by the strong support and wonderful memories — and the incredible recipes — that my family has brought me. They are the heart and soul of this book.
Nothing is more important to Paula Deen than her family, and nothing makes that big family happier than sitting down to a meal together. In Paula Deen’s The Deen Family Cookbook, Paula and the Deens, Hiers, Groovers, and Orts share their recipes and memories.
Paula’s beloved Aunt Peggy makes an Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf that’s as good in sandwiches the next day as it is for dinner. Baby brother Bubba Hiers brings his Beer and Onion Biscuits to the table, and his daughter, Corrie, makes a simple but luscious Lemony, Buttery Baked Fish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. (Her Carrot-Pecan Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are pretty tasty, too!) Son Jamie makes Huevos Rancheros, perfect for brunch, or try Bobby’s Whole Wheat and Honey Pancakes. Husband Michael Groover knows his way around a grill: try his Company’s Coming Grilled Steak and Veggie Supper for easy entertaining, and finish the evening with his Irish Coffee.
Of course, there was no way The Lady herself was going to let her relatives have all the fun: Paula is, after all, Paula. She shares her recipe for the Ham and Chutney Biscuit Fingers she puts on the table at every family party as well as the Eggplant and Sausage Lasagna that went a long way toward getting the boys to eat their vegetables. And while there’s plenty of butter, bacon, and mayonnaise in these pages, you’ll find some of the lighter recipes that Paula enjoys, too: Seared Scallops with Pineapple-Cucumber Salsa is her first choice for a healthful but romantic supper with Michael, and Oven-Fried Chicken Breasts with Honey-Yogurt Drizzle lets Paula indulge in her favorite foods without guilt and with room for dessert. With more than 140 recipes and dozens of beautiful color photographs, there’s something here for everyone. So invite over all those aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, and treat them to some home cooking, Deen family style.
Melissa Clark’s work has been published in The New York Times, Food & Wine, Bon App – tit, Wine & Spirits, Town & Country, and Real Simple. She has written more than 20 cookbooks, including The Deen Bros. Cookbook: Recipes from the Road and The Deen Bros. Cookbook: Y’all Come Eat.
Paula Deen’s The Deen Family Cookbook Review
I love love loved this book! It was so much fun reading all the little family stories that go along with the recipes – Paula’s family is just as hilarious as she is (no surprise there, I guess)! The recipes all seem pretty easy to make and they’re so creative. My #1 favorite is Aunt Peggy’s meatloaf (no boring old meatloaf here!), and I can’t wait to try all of the sweets recipes. Her cousin’s recipe for whoopee pies looks amazing. And it’s even got a healthy family recipe chapter – who would have thought? Looks delicious!
Just got my book yesterday and had to pick it up and look at it. She’s a real treat. Love her cookbooks.
A cookbook that’s a good read. What a concept. Paula makes cooking fun and just a little naughty I mean real butter, bacon, sugar and just the right amount of sauce. Thank goodness there are still cooks who create real food. Lots of great recipes. If I had to pick a favorite I guess it would be Michael’s sinful twice baked potato it’s a meal unto itself. With the fabulous photography and easy instructions you can’t miss and believe me, I am no cook…but I can wow my guests with these recipes.
