Summary: Vegan Southern Style
Review: Don't let anybody tell you anymore that being vegan means giving up all your old-time favorite flavors! What a great book for home cooking! I made the "Fried Chicken Tofu" and my carnivore friend who practically eats ONLY meat ate it all (before learning what it really was), and the Bar-Be-Que Beans are addictive, just as the author says. If you like spoonbread and creamed corn and greens & all that but wondered how to fix it vegan, this is your cookbook. Some recipes are high-fat, but you can be sensible and have them as once-in-a-while treats.

Summary: great cookbook!
Review: I was excited to come across this cookbook and am very glad to have bought it. Lots of comfort foods, and all really really tasty. Haven't made a bad one yet. Fried okra is just like my dad used to make (minus the bacon fat)

Summary: a blossoming southern writer
Review: I wiil keep my review somewhat short. Cookin Southern Vegetarian Style, is a wonderful addition to any southern cook's kitchen or library. Ann Jacksons first cookbook Heart of the Home now in its third printing, will start any vegetarian[or vegan] loving southern food, Her new book is a complete exstension of her first book,and offers many more original old timey southern recipes. The stories and writing in general have led me to believe, Ms.Jackson is a southern writer waiting to be discovered in the kitchen and elsewhere.

Summary: fun, practical, easy, yummy, and just damn good.
Review: I'm a health-conscious vegan with very little time and I refuse to eat food that's been processed. The recipes in this book are very simple and delectable. Almost everytime I open the book I discover a new recipe. Most of my friends generally hate anything healthy, but they will scarf down anything from this book. Also, this book is funny and a good read, so I recommend everyone to have a copy by their toilet. I also love Ann Jackson's other book, "Heart of the Home".

Summary: An outstanding addition to the vegetarian cookbook shelf.
Review: In Cookin' Southern, Ann Jackson combines family friendly Southern cuisine with a healthful eating ethic. From Fried Green Tomatoes and Gravy, Johnny Reb Dirty Rice, and Boone's Creek Corn Chowder, to Moonshiner's Tipsy Cake, Hillbilly Best Bread, and Easy Overnight Cinnamon Rolls, Cookin' Southern offers a compendium of tasty, palate pleasing, "kitchen friendly" recipes. There's even a superb recipe for making a cream soup without using any cream! Cookin' Southern well prove to be a much appreciated, often utilized addition to the vegetarian cookbook shelf.

Summary: a well-used cookbook
Review: These recipes remind me of old-time cooking. Almost all of the ingredients are familiar, and nothing too hard, either. Plus, the kitchen smelled great throughout!

Summary: Great-tasting, authentic Southern recipes!
Review: This book is a near-vegan treatise on southern cooking, and the dishes are truly authentic. Jackson's style is friendly and easy to follow, and she and I share the same cooking philosophy -- that every dish is an experiment and every recipe is just a launching pad. The recipe for Greens is a testament to its merits. Somehow Jackson manages to recreate the rich taste of salt pork that is normally used in traditional Southern greens recipes. Other standout recipes are Flawless Cornbread, Wild Woman's Bar-Be-Que Sauce and Big Bubba's Tofu. Another treat that makes the book worthwhile is the section on household hints, from how to season a cast-iron pan to how to ripen an avocado.
