Best of the Best from Calling All Cooks Cookbook

The Best of Calling All Cooks . . . rolled into one!

(Brandon, MS) The mission of Brandon, Mississippi-based publisher Quail Ridge Press is Preserving America’s Food Heritage.  Quail Ridge Press has been successfully (and tastefully) pursuing this objective for the last thirty years with their Best of the Best State Cookbook Series, which consists of the most popular recipes from the leading cookbooks published in each state.  The series has achieved national acclaim and is generally recognized as the definitive source of regional cooking.
 
“Best of the Best from Calling All Cooks Cookbook was a natural undertaking for Quail Ridge Press,” says owner Gwen McKee, “because the recipes in the Calling All Cooks cookbooks represent simple, tasteful, down-home cooking.”  “That is what Quail Ridge Press does,” McKee added. “We locate classic family recipes that may have been developed and perfected over generations, and then we preserve the best-tasting of those in a simple-to-use format appreciated by home cooks.”
 
The final selection of the 400 or so recipes included in the new Best of the Best from Calling All Cooks Cookbook was a joint effort between the AT&T TelecomPioneers of Alabama and the editors at Quail Ridge Press. The reviewing, tasting, and editing of the almost 6,000 recipes in all the Calling All Cooks cookbooks was a massive undertaking. “We reviewed 25 or 30 recipes for banana pudding, for instance,” McKee recalls, “to select the best two or three to go in the new book.”  The final result is a collaboration of the absolute best recipes from the Calling All Cooks Cookbook Series.
 
You will discover delicious recipes such as Hot Fudge Sundae Cake, Cornbread Casserole, Copycat Kentucky Fried Chicken, Kum-Back Salad Dressing, Delicious Buttermilk Pralines, Baked “Fried” Apple Pies...the list goes on and on.  In addition, this great cookbook also features fascinating historical facts and illustrations that show the development of the telephone over the years, making it a great read!
 
The AT&T TelecomPioneers of Alabama is an organization made-up of individuals who volunteer their services to a variety of projects that enrich communities throughout Alabama.  A large portion of the sales received from cookbook sales goes directly to the Pioneers.  Revenue generated from the sale of Best of the Best from Calling All Cooks will finance the many charitable activities in which AT&T TelecomPioneers of Alabama are involved.
 
Best of the Best from Calling All Cooks Cookbook is scheduled for release in September 2008, and will be available at bookstores and gift and kitchen shops throughout Alabama.  Cookbooks may also be ordered directly from Quail Ridge Press by calling 1-800-343-1583 or on our website.
