This is a very funny book that is not exactly a cookbook but does have some good-sounding recipes in it. It's the humor of a southern gal and her friends, The Sweet Potato Queens.

Again, I want - I NEED - to be a SPQ. Following these recipes and financial tips, I hope to someday achieve my goal. Truly funny; wonderful FATTENING recipes (and I do plan to try a number of them); and the financial tips are just no brainers! We can all learn from this group!

I have this cookbook and love it! The Sweet Potato Queens are hilarious and the author (Jill Conner Browne) includes much of that same kind of humor all through the book ("You know, some people like to say 'Less is more' but we are just the kind of girls who believe more is more - and also better"). I have made several of the recipes and they have all become family favorites. The one we like most is "Death Chicken" made from simple ingredients (rice, soup, chicken, bacon) but tastes -incredibly- good. And Fried Dill Pickles...the recipe is two pages long and so funny, my ribs hurt from laughing. Then there is Hershey Bar Pie...OMG.

You guys are missing out if you don't get a copy.

The food is terrific, and the pig candy made the people at work laugh, and ask for the recipe. These women know how to cook and keep their sense of humor.

I really didn't like this. I like most humor but thought these ladies were stupid.

I have gotten many of my staple potluck dishes from this book. I have ordered several copies to give to friends and family!

Hilarious! I haven't tried any of the recipes but the book keeps you laughing through out. I enjoyed it almost as much as her 1st book. If you liked the first Sweet Potato book you should definitely read this one.

A sassy, sarcastic read. Good read for the bathtub...or at least for the times between putting in a load of wash and chasing a mud-soaked kid across the backyard.

Great recipes and this book will leave you laughing until you cry. Any southerner can relate to this book.

This is not my kind of book. The other women in my book group enjoyed it so perhaps its because I'm from TX and the banter/humor is too close to home.
