Cookbook Review Southern Living 30 Years of Our Best Recipes

There are tons and tons for cookbooks. My mom has a whole bookshelf of them. There are annual books, like Taste of Home, Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens (those are one my mom has). The list goes on and on. There is one cookbook that I really love, it is Southern Living 30 Years of Our Best Recipes. 

There are other "Best of" Southern Living cookbooks, and they are not as good, I really hate books where there is wasted space. There is no picture, no recipe just an empty space, I hate that. But the SL 30 Years of Our Best Recipes is full of really good recipes, has great pictures, is formatted well too. The book tells you what the picture is and where to find it in the book. It also gives you little bits of history throughout the book on food and what Southern Living was doing. If you like Southern Living and don't want to commit to the whole series this is the book to get. The cover has one of my favorite Pound Cakes, the Peach Brandy Pound Cake. There is a separate post on the Pound Cake, so look for it.
