    Beautiful Book
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2023*

The book is really beautifully crafted, the cloth bound spine (the cover transitions to print as you can see in the amazon images), Southern Magnolia wallpaper printed end papers are pretty and unexpected. Nice photography etc. throughout. It is a warm easy read. I enjoyed it more than a few of her bookclub pics my bookclubs have read (*Eleanor Oliphant and Crawdads). The books pictured on "her bookshelves" are classics and modern classics, I have many of the same ones on my shelves I plan to look up some of the others). I do think her bookclub suggestions are often books that she selects because they will make good movies or TV (a friend and I agree Crawdads was definitely better as a movie).I'd hesitate to call it a cookbook. There are about 7 menus with 5 recipes or items within each menu (a drink, appetizer, main, sides and dessert usually). A couple are her recipes like chili pie, chicken potpie her interpretation of her grandmothers fried chicken (she said she found a couple recipes her grandmother had saved and combined them into a good approximation). There are probably 10 other recipes not included in the menus so 45 recipes but 7 of them are drinks like sun tea, lemonade etc. a couple are cocktails some basic a couple more unique.  About 1 item or recipe in each menu is "good enough-ing" (olives or cheese plate suggested but not actually listed beyond the menu--obviously you don't need a menu to set out olives). The mud pie truffle is coolwhip, instant pudding, oreos and source a chocolate cake with her suggesting you bake up a box--which is relatable. About half of the recipes are credited to Annie Campbell not quite sure who that is, her friend that throws good parties? I plan on trying the chili pie and the squash casserole looks similar to the one my grandma made (who like most Southern Grandmothers cooked by touch not by measurements) so I am excited to to try that. I am always fascinated by different theories on biscuits so I'll likely try the biscuit at some point. The recipes appear very thorough she reminds you to thaw the coolwhip for the trifle for example.As far as things I noticed about her background. Her dad is a vocal surgeon in Nashville (possibly Dolly's--she implied Dolly contacted her through her dad when she was preparing for a role), her mom is an artist that went back to school to become a nurse and her beloved grandmother was a 1st grade teacher. Her brother lives in the ancestral home as the 4th(?) generation. I am not sure what her beloved grandfather did but I assume he did it well. She talks about "Cadillac" being the family car for 2-3 generations and roadtrips. So it sounds like her family was probably prominent in Nashville long before her own success as an actress. Which makes her love of girls getting pearl necklaces for special occasions and monogramming unsurprising. She thanks 5 women for "finding the soccer jersey and getting the chicken fingers on the table" so it is safe to say she has a whole team that make her lifestyle work professionally and at home. However, she still manages to comes across as mostly grounded, hardworking and relatable.

*by P***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2023*

What a delightful read. I almost felt like I was having a conversation with Reese! Light hearted and funny and I learned a lot about southern customs. Y'all will enjoy the read and maybe find a recipe or two to make for your friends and family.
