Editorial Review:
In this definitive cookbook, Ronni Lundy draws upon her Kentucky mountain roots and on the recipes and food passions of the fellow Southerners--from home cooks to a new generation of professional chefs--she has met in her extensive regional travels. Lundy cooks her way through the bounty of the Southern garden, from succulent purple speckled butter beans and lady cream peas to corn and greens, muscadines, Georgia peaches, figs, mayhaws, and watermelon. Her mouthwatering recipes include Crawfish Corn Cakes with Smoked Tomato Sauce, Warm Green Bean and Tommy-Toe Salad, Watermelon Salsa, Blackberry Cobbler, and Bourbon-Apricot-Cherry Stack Cake. She visits farm markets and festivals, finds heirloom-seed growers, and provides mail-order sources for everything from sweet-potato chips and old-fashioned whole heart grits to fiery-orange Honey Bells. Butter Beans to Blackberries is also a great guide for food-conscious visitors to a South that is rediscovering its culinary heritage.

Rating: - This is Southern comfort, honey. Forget words...EAT !
Lundy writes, and cooks, in the spirit of Eugene Walter -- who she quotes in the book. Again...just buy the book and relish it...you will, you know.
Rating: - Bravo!!!
This is a cookbook you read. Every word!
It has also reminded me that there are no meat-and-three cafes in all of California that I can find. And all the cornbread tastes like cake. Somebody is missing the boat here. You would make a good living if you opened this type of restarant. You could use this cookbook to get started!
Rating: - Wonderful stories -- and great food too - the real South
This is the first book of Ronni Lundy's that I read and it inspired me to find and buy all the rest of her books. If you have Southern roots or know anyone who has, the stories and recipes will be even more meaningful to you. The South produces some of the best vegetables in the country and Southerners of all races have been developing ways to best showcase them. Buy this book for the recipes but keep it for the stories too.
Rating:  - Very interesting and full of good basic recipes
I really enjoyed this book and a variety of recipes found in this book. The author added stories that were amusing and made you want to read this book from cover to cover. Having a husband that drives long distance truck, the resturant referrals were great and have proven to be accurate!
Rating: - This is a fun read. Good stories AND great recipes!
The recipes in "Butterbeans to Blackberries" are good enough to make bona-fide vegetable haters ask for a second helping, but this cookbook is so much more than a compilation of tasty recipes. Lundy is a Southerner who not only loves cooking and knows all those hidden secrets of Southern cooks, but she weaves the recipes around the unique people who make the South a special place. Her stories of the characters she runs into are every bit as delicious as the recipes. She's an authentic ... Read More
