Every recipe gets two thumbs up!
Only in the Recipe Hall of Fame can you find tried-and-true, All-American recipes like these!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, editors Gwen McKee and Barbara Moseley have done it again! The Recipe Hall of Fame Cookbook II brings you more of the family favorites you have come to expect...Apple Pan Dowdy, Southern Corn Bread Dressing, Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Cake.... Each of these newly selected Hall of Fame recipes were chosen from over 14,000 recipes that were already winners in the acclaimed Best of the Best State Cookbook Series. The editors have traveled America in search of recipes that contribute to their goal of Preserving America's Food Heritage.
Like its predecessors, the renowned Recipe Hall of Fame Cookbook, the Recipe Hall of Fame Dessert Cookbook, and the Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook, this latest in the Recipe Hall of Fame Cookbook Collection has earned its place in the winner's circle. You'll give every recipe a two-thumbs-up vote of approval.
Gwen McKee is co-founder (with her husband, Barney) and editor-in-chief of Quail Ridge Press, where she has dedicated the past thirty years to Preserving America's Food Heritage. She has authored and edited more than ninety cookbooks, with plans for more.
As Quail Ridge Press spokesperson, Gwen has made numerous appearances on QVC over the past ten years--since she won QVC's "Quest for America's Best" and sold out of Best of the Best from Mississippi Cookbook in two minutes.
On the rare occasion when she's not searching for, testing, and tasting the best recipes in the nation, Gwen enjoys golf, photography, writing, reading, traveling, and doing anything with her grandchildren. Gwen was born and reared in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and educated at Louisiana State University where her major studies and interests were Journalism, English, Delta Gamma, and Barney.
The proud parents of three grown children and seven grandchildren, Gwen and Barney live in Brandon, Mississippi, on a golf course in a people-friendly home with a BIG kitchen.
Barbara Moseley is co-editor of the Best of the Best State Cookbook Series and has been a part of the Quail Ridge Press family for more than twenty years. She has edited fifty cookbooks and counting.
Barbara has a genuine love for cooking and says she learned to cook from her mother, aunts, and uncles who were all great cooks. At college-age, she considered home economics her favorite subject and, in fact, that was when she purchased her first cookbook. Her favorite foods include fresh vegetables, especially those out of her own garden. And while she's not a big fan of sweets, she says, "A little chocolate never hurts."
When Barbara isn't in the kitchen, she enjoys golf, gardening, travel, and attending her grandchildren's ballgames and activities.
She has been married to husband Lonnie for forty-nine years and they have three children, eight grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Born in her grandmother's home in Florence, Mississippi, Barbara had lived in Florence all her life until recently when she moved to Brandon (two doors down from Gwen). She is a member of First Baptist Church in Florence.
