 Way "down yonder" where cotton is king and moss-draped oak boughs offer cooling shade, good food is a great part of a gentle heritage. Family recipes are as treasured heirlooms as the family silver. Rich Blackbelt soil and a generous southern sun bless us with the bounty of the land which graces our tables daily. The recipes in LAND OF COTTON have met the ultimate test -- the family dinner table. From quiet, special times for our family and friends to grand celebrations, these southern treasures are presented to you with pride and delight.
