ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Just the name jambalaya conjures up mystery.  I see mammoth cast-iron
kettles with flames licking up the sides and tropical, leafy pathways with
secret nooks and fortune tellers.  Jambalaya sounds like a secret elixir, as
if you had to go to the local voodoo shop for the recipe.  I always felt that
Blanche DuBois could have held on to her sanity if she could have had just
one more good bowl of jambalaya."

"They're the second class citizens of the cooking world, but delicious none
the same: recipes that must have one can cream of mushroom soup, one can
cream of celery soup, and one can of tomato soup, no matter what it is.  Most
of the ingredients are either canned, frozen, wrapped in at least three
different layers of plastic, or must be whopped on the counter to be opened. 
They're the processed, the instant, the refined - pre-cooked, pre-stirred,
pre-bakes, and pre-fabbed.  They contain ingredients that beg for a second
look.  These dishes disappear first at a pot luck; they are our secret
obsessions.  Gooey, sweet, hot, greasy, and salty all at the same time, no
self-respecting vegetarian would eat them more than once or twice in a
lifetime.  These recipes will never have balsamic vinegar or ginger oil as an
ingredient.  Each and every one invokes Elvis."

Any Southern vegetarian who misses the special flavors of fried chicken,
beans laced with fatback, and sausage gravy over their biscuits will welcome
these recipes.  Ann Jackson shares family favorites of the South that have
traditionally been vegetarian, and creates meatless versions of other dishes
that will bring back memories to anyone raised south of the Mason-Dixon.

Big Bubba's Tofu
Half-Moon Fried Apple Pies
Church Supper Caramelized Onions
Johnny Reb Dirty Rice
Wild Woman's Bar-Be-Que Sauce
Nolichucky Vegetable Pie
Frogmore Gumbo
Graceland French Toast
City "Chicken" Legs
Swannanoa Shortcake

Even if you don't fancy yourself an aspiring cook, you'll find hours of
enjoyment with humorous tales of kitchen misadventures and Ann's earthy
advice on life and good eating.  Reminiscences of life in the South will
transport you to family reunions, pantries full of hand-me-down dishware,
country filling stations, your grandmother's box lunches, and the special
magic of Southern summer nights.
