"Most of all, I love that this book captures the real meat of life, not just its gravy," — Lily Binns, Saveur Magazine

"It’s a challenge to tell the story of someone’s life in between recipes for cornbread and Alabama biscuits, but this cookbook is very successful, without sacrificing either the recipes or the story."—Theresa Curry, Daily News Record

Country Living Magazine

Country Living's Holiday issue is featuring the Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant Cookbook, along with several other books it's reccommending in a list of potential holiday gifts. It's the ONLY cookbook mentioned. Can't beat that!

Here's some of what it says:

"Sometimes recipes produce more than a good meal; they bring history to life. Such is the case with the Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant Cookbook: A Lifetime of Recipes from the Shenandoah Valley...This evocative cookbook tells the story of a single mother who helped start a restaurant in Staunton, Va., in the 1940s."

There's plenty more. But you should pick up a copy on the newstands. It's a beautiful issue and the treatment of the book is gorgeous.
