Industry Reviews

"Southerners relish good food and good stories. Packed with mouth-watering heirloom Southern recipes and beautiful photographs,  Lana Stuart's My Southern Table: Recipes from a Georgia Kitchen is more than a cookbook. It is a lovely collection of soul-warming food memories, stories of the great cooks in Lana's family, and how food builds family and community at the table."

--Nathalie Dupree, James Beard award-winning cookbook author 


"There are so many times when all I want is to be in the small, loving kitchen of my grandmother. She'd be at the stove, wearing an apron way too frilly to cook in, making a meal fit for a Southern king. I miss her and the food she fed us in a way that still hurts inside. Turning the pages of My Southern Table is sure to be a comforting fix for the longing that lives inside grandchildren raised in the South. Only a truly talented woman could master a photography-worthy 10-layer chocolate cake with layers almost as thin as the spreader on a butter knife. And just like my grandmother Tom would have done, Lana then beautifully smothers that cake with beloved boiled icing. Stuart's recipes seem to turn back time and prop open the screen door that leads to some of my most scrumptious memories."

--Rebecca Lang, Southern Cooking Authority and Author of 8 cookbooks


"Just looking at the cover of My Southern Table made my mouth water and at the same time transported me right back to childhood and the love and comfort found in my family's kitchen. Lana Taylor Stuart's recipes are both delicious and timeless - and her genuine warmth and South Georgia heritage shine through on each page. And while every dish in her book stands out as superb, it is her 'Chocolate Little Layer Cake' - that absolutely magnificent confection made with ten layers of moist cake and silky, rich icing - that earns her a golden culinary crown." 

--Johnathan Scott Barrett, author of Rise and Shine! A Southern Son's Treasury of Food, Family & Friends, Cook & Tell: Recipes and Stories from Southern Kitchens, Cook & Celebrate: A Collection of Southern Holiday and Party Culinary Traditions (Mercer University Press), and the upcoming Southern novel, Ship Watch (Moonshine Cove Publishing, Inc. December 2023)


"Food is more than sustenance, it's a shared language of love, history, and community." I love these opening lines in the Introduction to Lana Taylor Stuart's My Southern Table. Food is much more than what we eat to survive: it defines who we are and the heritage we carry with us throughout our lives. Food is meant to be savored and enjoyed with family, friends, and community.


The book is well organized into sections from Appetizers to Desserts. Each recipe is accompanied by a sumptuous color photograph. The recipes have a footnote story and some key points to help make the dish. This is a real gem of a cookbook that will inspire many food connoisseurs as well as those who just enjoy perusing a good recipe book.
