My mom and I were big fans of Natalie Duprees show New Southern Cooking on PBS and I have that cook book. I might have to order Southern Memories myself.
Natalie represents the more gentile and traditional and classier example of Southern cuisine and life style much more like the Southerners I known and love. Paula Deens cooking style represents the trailer trash; how some people cook when they are not cooking Meth. : ),
I am looking forward to getting Ms. Duprees book!
I’ve watched a few episodes of Paula Deen, and..
well, I found her disgusting, to be honest.
My Acadian Gramma (Memere) would have been appalled at her cooking!
