Paula Deen's Kitchen Classics by Paula H. (FWD) Deen, Paula H. Deen (2005, Hardcover)

Loved the book. Easy recipes, simple ingredients. Several friends and relatives have the same book & at a family reunion, we tried several recipes from the book...all were delicious. Would recommend to anyone!

I already had this book and my step-daughter fell in love with it before Christmas. I had planned to buy it for her birthday but the price was good at the time I needed it. She is tickled as the recipes are down to earth without using hard to find ingredients. It is full of "stick to the ribs" southern cuisine . I have used it frequently and have been very pleased with the results. I would recommend it to all serious cooks as it covers all entertaining and family gatherings.

Nobody does southern cooking like Paula Deen. She represents some of the best the south has to offer. Her recipes are just good old down-to-earth home cooking fancied up a bit. Her wit and charm are present throughout the entire book. She explains how to make the recipe for anything that is out of the ordinary. Her style of writing makes you feel that she is in the kitchen with you as you try some of her fabulous recipes.

I bought the book for a cookbook exchange that I participated in. The recipient was a Paula Deen fan and she loved it as much as I did. It was well worth the price paid and was in mint condition.

The only thing I disliked about the book was it made me want to buy more of her cookbooks. lol

I absolutely adore Paula Deen's cooking show on the Food Network and the stories she so charmingly tells. She has carried this charm into this cookbook; not only with her hilarious and personal tales, but great recipes that are down home style and many with the ingredients that you would normally have in your kitchen. For the person who loves to cook as well as the person who loves good food but doesn't necessarily want to spend all their time in the kitchen, this is an extremely good investment! Her recipes also contain amazing tips for serving and hosting parties.

My 16yo daughter loves to cook, she is currently taking Culinary Arts in high school. Paula Deen inspires her a great deal. She watches the Food Network channel, then she attempt the recipes. This book was much cheaper on Ebay, everywhere else the price was very high. When the package arrived, she didn't know what was inside. I heard her gasp when she opened the box. This was the most rewarding purchase I have made all year.

Being a Georgia girl, I'm a HUGE Paula Deen fan. I first bought this cookbook as a birthday gift for my cousin who is also crazy about Paula. Once my husband and I started looking at it, we knew we had to have one for ourselves. Naturally, I turned to eBay. The majority of Paula's recipes are exceptionally easy with just a few ingredients, most with a Southern flair -- from appetizers to desserts, and everything in between, like meatloaf, soups, and casseroles. There are also some fancy recipes. If you're like me and you love to cook but don't have a lot of time, this cookbook is for you. It has really helped us break away from our old menus and make some interesting and delicious dishes. This book is a combo of two of Paula's best cookbooks and I highly recommend it. Makes a great gift -- my cousin loves hers too.

I have loved the refreshing approach that Paula has used in writing her cookbooks. The stories that go with each recipe bring meaning and fun to each recipe. Believe it or not...it makes great bedtime reading. Check-out the newest book about Celebrations. Blessings!

I love this cookbook! It has so many good Southern recipes, is easy to read, and the recipes are delicious when cooked. Paula Deen is a good writer as well as a good cook. This may be my favorite cookbook and I enjoy reading it for fun as well as for instruction.

I love the way the book is written with personal anecdotes and her wedding photos are added in also. The recipes are basic southern cooking and easy to follow . Excellent choice and it arrived in perfect condition.

great buy, fast shipping!very pleased with this item, would recommend to others. it was in excellent condition on arrival. will be a great christmas gift for my mother.

Wonderful recipes, if you enjoy true southern cooking this is the book for you. Paula Deen is a wonderful cook, and I have tried many of these recipes and love them~

Love it Love it LOVE IT!!!!!!! She is such a sweet woman with GREAT RECIPES! I ordered one for my mother's birthday and when I received hers through EBAY, I knew I had to get one for myself...and did! Wonderful!

Great book. Very, very good recipes. The recipes in here make you want to get started right away. Many of the recipes she does on TV are in the book. Paula adds some of her own stories in here which give the book her special touch. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves to cook and bake country style.

After seeing Paula's show, her recipes sounded delicious. After trying several in the cook book, I certainly wasn't disappointed. Great price and quick delivery!

Paula's cookbooks are a must have, for all types of cooks. I bought her first cookbook five years ago, and I am a big fan of her show. Her recipes are big on taste!

Easy to follow directions and helpful hints. I have enjoyed each and every recipe I have made and everyone is always pleased with the outcome. Her food has flavor, texture and taste. I recommend all of her books. I also recommend watching her shows on the Food Network.

Her restaurant in Savannah is a must in you are in the area. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting her restaurant, but hope to soon.

If you love cookbooks as much as I do, you will find this one to be one of your favorites. In addition to the wonderful "down home" recipes, it has some great personal features about Paula and her family. You will feel the genuine character of Paula and her sons when you read these pages just as much as when you watch them on television. Highly recommended!

PERFECT TRANSACTION, ITEM AS DESCRIBED, FAST SHIPPING, A PLUS IN EVERY WAY!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I DECIDED TO BUY BECAUSE OF THE RATINGS AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUY FROM THIS PERSON AGAIN. THANK YOU AND SEE YOU SOON !!!

This book has LOTS of great receipes. Also pictures, including her wedding pictures. These are tried and true receipes that most people have the ingredients on hand. Being from Georgia, I love all her true southern receipes. I've eaten at her resturant and it was FANTASTIC!

The "Kitchen Classics" a very nice cookbook to add to your Paula Deen collection. It's a single-bound volume of Paula's first two spiral-bound cookbooks, and with this edition you don't have to remember exactly "which" book a particular recipe is in. If you are a Paula fan (either her food or her personality), you'll no doubt be glad to own this book.

I got this for my mother-in-law and she talks about it all the time. She likes how many recipes there are and the good variety.

I like it because it has home cooking...not diet receipes...I decided to buy it because I bought a Paula Dean Roaster.

I am a huge Paula Deen fan, and have spent alot of time DVR'ing her shows from Food Network. This WONDERFUL book saves me all that trouble and hassle! Try the Vidalia Corn Muffins (SO easy and delicious!) and the awesome Hurry Up CHicken Pot Pie! Another thing I really enjoy about Paula's cooking is that her recipes are very, very versatile. For instance, I took the pot pie recipe and have made several verions of it, just by subbing out the meat, stock, and veggies: beef pot pie with corn instead of peas, cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken, etc. Also wonderful made with cheese soup and broccoli, with water chestnuts and chicken stock! Paula's recipes are all about what's on hand, nothing super fancy to buy, easy cooking, and absolutely mouthwatering homestyle cooking - you'll love it, and her, she's an American Southern Classic!

I have used this cookbook for several years and have made many of its recipes. Every single one of them has proven excellent. As a cook of 45 years, I would recommend this cookbook to everyone. The directions are easy to use, the ingredients easy to find, the results scrumptious. If you are looking for low fat recipes, this is not the cookbook to use. If you are looking for exceptionally delicious dishes to serve guests or take to a potluck, then this is the cookbook for you. What a wonderful Christmas or birthday gift this would make.
