Join The Good Cook Book Club for a great deal on PAULA DEEN: IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT THE COOKIN'
“If you weren’t a Paula Deen fan before this book, you will be when you finish it. I wonder if there’s a more truthful autobiography of any person’s rise to the top. This one is so honest, so real—it made me laugh, and gasp, and often, made my eyes well up. Is Paula Deen a saint? Not even close! But the story of her rise from “The Bag Lady” in Savannah, Georgia, to Food Network® superstar makes for an eye-opening read and is a wonderful tribute to the American dream.”
PAULA DEEN...
On “buttah”
As the diet gurus threatened early death to Southern cooking lovers, the old Georgia farmers who put cream in their cereal instead of milk continued to live to a hundred, muttering, ‘The fat makes mah arteries so slick, the blood glides right on through.’
On being in business with your sons:
“Listen, I figure that even if I don’t follow my own advice and I end up giving the boys a greater share, I can still outvote them because I’m still yo’ momma. In the South, being yo’ momma trumps all.”
On Southern charm:
“If you see Jo Blow in the grocery, you can’t walk by and just say, ‘Hey, how y’all doin?’ If you’re wantin’ to display your S.C., it takes stoppin’ for awhile.”
On success:
“I know my momma and daddy are watching today, and somewhere they’re spinning, ’cause you don’t know how many bad report cards they had to sign for me.’”
