Customer Reviews

This kind of cooking is elegance through simplicity.
For the record, "White Trash Cooking II" was originally published as "Sinkin Spells, Hot Flashes, Fits and Cravins" and although the order info says it is hardback, it is a spiral-bound soft cover. But no matter --- BUY IT!

I have the original "White Trash Cookbook" and this is more of the same. Anyone can cook like this and you don't need all those expensive, fancy herbs and spices. In fact, you don't need much more than salt and pepper. I sit and read these cookbooks like novels. They remind me of my simple roots and I feel like these people are my people. These books are portals to honest and simple times, people and food.

A feast for man,woman, child and beast. Let's eat!
Author, Enest Matthew Mickler has done it again. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of white trash cookin, Ernie brings us another wheelbarrow load of recipes for feeding the hordes and masses. Mouthwatering dishes like Big Ruby Dukes's Peachadillies, Tammy Faye's Tumped Tuna Jump and Aunt Sarah's Stepped on Cornbread will make your next cemetery cleanin, family reunion or home demonstration party the best invite in town. Bone' appe'titee!

Not just a cookbook -- a sociological foray
Just as in the original "White Trash Cooking", there are recipes here, but more of an emphasis on cooking for groups. The various situations that call for group food are presented -- quilting bees, funerals, reunions, obligatory holidays. Each chapter is prefaced by a short story illustrating the heart of white trash. The photos are truly astounding, and as in the first book, a big part of the book's appeal. These people don't ever apologize for being white-trash -- they're simple, unvarnished, and neighborly. So is their food.

The recipes are even more outrageously white-trashy than in the first book -- while there are several recipes I tried from the first, there aren't as many that I'd call accessible in this one. I also find dialect-writing difficult to follow. Still, the last chapter is truly touching: An eloquent plea for people to cook with their own hands, instead of relying on store-bought "mummafied" food. Well said!
