Wow, those pics on the cover remind me of my mom's cooking (actually my granny's cooking) back in Kenly, NC. I remember them making biscuits in a wooden flour bin with buttermilk and lard; they were the best! They were served with fresh grown collard greens and pork straight off the hog that had been cooked in the ground.
The other not so awesome memory, though, was the Shell no-pest fly strip hanging over the table we would all gather around.

My sister-in-law is from Nashville and now lives in Australia and is slowly intorducing all my family there to the joys of biscuits and sweet potato pie. This sounds like her kinda cooking and I will have to look for this book to take home to Aus for her for christmas (and one for myself because I cannot resist a good one pot cookup!!)
