Dinner at Miss Lady's: Memories and Recipes from a Southern Childhood
Author: Luann Landon
Back when people spent their whole lives in one place, life was all about family and family rituals. It was about the whole clan gathering at dinnertime over meals to be remembered forever. Luann Landon's cookbook/memoir transports us to that world of formal midday dinners, closely guarded recipes, and competitive cooks.
Dinner at Miss Lady's takes us back there through the memories, meals, and recipes of one Southern family. Landon recreates the old Southern way of life in comic and tender anecdotes - from the near disaster of losing the tiny dinner bell to revenge exacted by giving the wrong recipe for a cake. This is the world of Landon's extended family: the glamorous and indolent Aunt Clare; the industrious, proud grandmother Murlo; the other grandmother, spoiled, indulgent Miss Lady and her good-humored husband, Judge; and most important, Henretta, the protective cook, able to mend family battles with a perfect blackberry-rhubarb cobbler.
Adding to the vividness of this memoir are menus from those memorable meals, including birthday dinners, homecoming feasts, graduation celebrations, and sumptuous spring and fall parties. Landon shares detailed recipes for over sixty heirloom dishes: Cousin Catherine's Chicken Vermouth with Walnuts and Green Grapes, Beets in Orange and Ginger Sauce, Tennessee Jam Cake, Caramel Ice Cream.
A rich portrait of a life almost lost to us, Dinner at Miss Lady's is a memoir cooked to perfection, one to savor both for its stories and for its food.
People Magazine
Half family memoir, half cookbook....Landon's languid prose [is not] for anyone wanting a quick read.

NY Times Book Review
...[T]he characters are engaging, and the desire to taste one of Henretta's meals is strong.
New York Times Book Review
What to do when you feel like turning on a burner, and what to read when you don't. . . the characters are engaging, and the desire to taste one of Henretta's meals is strong.
Publishers Weekly
Gracefully written...Landon's memoir is a loving and poignant tribute to people and a way of life gone by.
The Tennessean
Landon serves as a gracious hostess for this charming tour of another time and place. . . a book to savor for its gentle relfections as well as for the recipes which will bring the flavor of the Old South to the reader's own dinner table.
People magazine
Food for the southern soul.
