Reviews

Brilliant in its simplicity. A prime example of what a talented cook can do given a firm sense of place and a feel for its products. --Village Voice Crescent Dragonwagon is the Alice Waters of the Ozarks . . . turning out a nightly stream of creations wherein the best of country and city converge. --House Beautiful I love the food, the stories, and the passion so apparent in Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread. My only regret is that I didn't discover the book when it first came out. I have no doubt that I'd be a better cook and host if I'd grown up with a copy, but now I am happily making up for lost time. This is a terrific book. --Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo One of my all-time favorite cookbooks. Crescent's wit and wisdom shine through, and the recipes are as timely and delicious today as they were when I first cooked them. --Nathalie Dupree, coauthor of Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking This reissue of the iconic, thirty-year-old Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread is a boon to a new generation of cooks and readers. Dragonwagon is a magical author: not only do her recipes sing with flavor; her storytelling enlivens every single page. Soup and bread in her capable hands create all the right magic for the body and soul. --Raghavan Iyer, author of 660 Curries
