Terrific cookbook!.......2007-09-09
I checked this book out from my library and quickly realized that I had to have this book! The recipes all sound delicious and easy to prepare. The how-to sections on making bread and choosing cuts of meat are very helpful. You can't go wrong with this book!

As good as the first..........2007-09-18
Sometimes, after the first book in a series, any series, the quality seems to drop. In a vampire series the standards are very HARD to keep up. In most vampire series the second is always kind of weak when compared to the first or even the third.
Not here. Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine Harris is great. Why? Not only does she draw in new material, new characters, new settings and a couple of plots but she also is daring enough to make her characters feel real, with flaws, merits and desires.
Sookie Stackhouse is a real person with real needs and real fears. You can understand what she wants, what she is feeling and what she wants. You can't help but cheer her on and get upset when bad things happen to her.
I WILL be buying the next book.
Dallas has been Sookiefied :) .......2007-08-16
"Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackehouse is on a streak of bad luck. First, her coworker is murdered and no one to care. Than she's face-to-face with a beastly creatures that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it).
Point is, they saved her life. So when one of the blood-suckers asks for a favor, she complies. And soon, Sookie's in Dallas using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's suppose to interview certain humans involved. There's just one condition. The vampires must promise to behave and let the humans go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blond and one small mistake for things to turn deadly... "
"Dead in Dallas" is book two in Charline Harris's Southern vampire novels.
Just as the first book (Dead Until Dark) , this was an absolute treat....
Lafayette, Sookie's coworker, has been murdered and left in a truck to be found. Sookie is of course highly upset and wants to find the killer. But doesn't really get the chance to begin her investigation, as she is being sent to Dallas with Bill to find a missing vampire... She is going to find Lafayette's killer when (if) they get back from Dallas.
The book is amazingly entertaining. You will of course meet almost all of the characters from the first book and be introduced to new ones. But even if you haven't read the first book (which I would VERY much recommend),you will very easily and smoothly be led into the story and will be introduced to all the characters gradually... Sookie's trip to Dallas is very exciting, disturbing and of course life-threatening. Not only she is trying to do her job and stay alive at the same time, she is also struggling with her relationship with Bill. And Eric ..... yeah, well , Eric .... You just have to read and find out for yourself how the story evolves, how these amazing characters learn to live with each other, light and darkness, trying their hardest to make it work.
I am reading This series for the second time now, and surprise , surprise .... it just doesn't get boring at any point. I absolutely love these books and highly recommend them. Paranormal romance/mystery lovers, get this book. You are going to fall in love ^_^
Chaos Abounds With Sookie!.......2007-06-17
The second book in the Southern Vampire series written by Charlaine Harris, Living Dead in Dallas, opens with yet another murder of an employee of Merlotte's Bar in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse, barmaid and telepath, discovers the body of cook Lafayette, but she scarcely has time to look for clues to his murder because she once again finds herself at the employ of the vampire community to which her boyfriend, Bill, belongs. So what's a vampire-lover to do? If it's Sookie, she's going to get herself involved in a strange Fellowship, a nest of vampires with its own sense of justice, and have a fight with her boyfriend before returning to the original issue of poor Lafayette.
Living Dead in Dallas is an interesting sequel; while Sookie and Bill are still hot and heavy, you do get the sense from time to time that things are not always peachy in paradise. In addition, Harris throws in a couple more supernatural beings (maenads and werewolves) to keep things intriguing. Sookie is brave and sometimes foolhardy as usual, and Bill often is there to pull her out of danger. The secondary characters, including brother Jason, Sam the bar owner, and Eric the vampire, all return, and their portrayals receive more development throughout the book. Still, the story is chaotic and rambling at times; it veers off into almost a totally different book before returning to the central plot. There are plenty of loose threads that will lead into the next book and one can only hope that poor Sookie doesn't find herself so physically abused in the third endeavor. Overall this is a good read that will leave you ready for the next one. Recommended for the relationships, the mystery, and, of course, the vampires.
SOOKIE'S BACK!!!!!.......2007-06-12
Our favorite little mindreader is back...with a bang. But this little tale begins with the death of Merlotte's cook and Sookie's friend...the flamboyantly gay Lafayette Reynolds, who is found very dead in the back of Andy Bellefleure's car in the parking lot of Merlotte's. Worse yet, Eric, the gorgeous boss of her boyfriend, vampire Bill, has requested her paranormal assistance to his vampire brethren in Shreveport. There is a vampire missing there, and all of the undead want know what has happened to him. Sookie agrees to help, as long as no humans are harmed by any information that she uncovers; and uncover she does. It doesn't take Sookie long to find out what has befallen the missing vamp...and her murdered friend.
With its fair share of mystery, fun and a healthy dose of lust, the Sookie Stackhouse series is not to be missed. It's not often that a literary heroine comes along with the spunk and smarts of our Miss Sookie.

I thought finding a dead body was gonna be the worst thing to happen.......2007-05-14
Ms. Sookie, a dead body, a crazy maenad, religious fanatics not to mention that kinky sex party...Girl Watch Out!
The second installment to the Southern Vampire Mystery Series...it's enough to make me blush and keep reading of course.

Paula Deen & Friends Does Live It Up!.......2007-07-14
Hello! I rarely write reviews of the products I purchase online. In fact this is my FIRST, lol! However, this book I feel deserves a write up and I hope it helps buyers out there~ I LOVED the book! I find the recipes well written and easy to follow. Not complicated to cook nor are the ingredients hard to find! MOST IMPORTANT, after making a few of the meals, THEY TASTE FABULOUS! That's what it's all about! The book is written in a very straight forward, down to earth manner with down home southern hospitality thrown in. I cook for a living. I am a foodie! I have over 300 cook books, (YES that other famous one with the peacock guy...) and like that one, this is also one of my favorites, right off the bat; I knew it before I even tried any of Ms Deen's WONDERFUL recipes! There are many "trade" secrets or cooking tips included, if you don't know them already! Many of the recipes are very unusual and unique; not found everywhere! (Now today, that's important with the slew of cookbooks out there!). I suggest you go out and buy this cookbook NOW, AT ONCE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! You won't be disappointed in it, I feel! Lastly, THANK YOU MS. DEEN for your wonderful book, you are making me FAT! But "never trust a skinny cook" as the saying goes! Scott in New York City. parkslopescott@aol.com
Paula Deen & Friends.......2007-07-09
Fun cookbook and nice reading on the life of Paul Deen and her family. It shows what a warm and friendly person she is. The recipes are also good.
Paul Deen is a good southern cook, but..........2007-06-20
Paula Deen is a good southern cook, but I was a little disappointed with this offering. It doesn't seem to live up to her other products. Maybe it is because that I don't entertain much, and certainly not in a formal way, but this doesn't fit our lifestyle or cooking preferences.
Great menu suggestions.......2007-06-02
This book provides great menus for a variety of entertaining. The recipes are easy to use and are food that is familiar to everyone - nothing so exotic that you have to go to a speciality store to buy it.
HEY YA'LL ! THIS COOKBOOK IS KITCHEN FRIENDLY!.......2007-03-02
If you watch the Food Network, then Paula Deen is no stranger to you. I remember never missing an episode of her show years ago before Paula became so popular. Now, she is everywhere...and deserves every minute of the exposure. Good for her! I still never miss a show; I even like the reruns on Sundays.
Rightfully so, I had to have her cookbooks. Paula is a cook that everyday Americans can relate to. Remember cooking shows on PBS where the cooks always made food with ingredients that they probably never sold in your local supermarket, that is, if you could even afford them? The Food Network has changed that these days, and Paula is at the top of the list for wholesome foods that anyone can make.
Her Living It Up Southern Style cookbook is a quick pick for a fast meal or for party planning. The recipes are easy to understand and easy to plan for. You probably have most of the ingredients already in your pantry. I like the layout of this cookbook too. There's not a lot of reading so the recipes don't get lost. They are also divided by occasion, so it's easy to find what you need if you are looking for suggestions.
Best wishes! Best dishes! And definitely one of Paula's best too!

Southern Living Annual Recipes .......2007-03-01
My wife and mother-in-law really love these Southern Living Annual Recipe books. I've purchased all the annual books & select other Sothern Living books for each of them for many years. Husbands & son-in-laws, purchasing these books is a quick & easy way to take care of part of your holiday & birthday shopping. Plus the food is great as well. Enjoy!!!
Recipies Like Mother Used to Make.......2007-02-26
Even though this is the 2006 edition, myfavorite recipie is repeated from 2001, Chicken-Fried Steak. Not only is this my fvorite food, but it was a staple in southern Louisiana where I grew up, and in my Grandmothers house in Texas. Good chicken-fried steak is hard to find. Usually it's pan fried instead and greasy and mushy. Not this one, it's breading is crisp, crunchy, and spicy.
I also notice that their Cheese Grits (two varieties) use quick-cooking grits (bad idea) but then say you can use stone-ground if desired and increase cook time to 50 minutes. Most places don't even mention stone ground grits (oh so much better) and if they do they forget to mention that they cook slower. Unless you're extremely lucky you'll have to order these through the mail - I use Bob's Red Mill.
These are magnificant books. Not only do they give you some very good ideas about how to entertain for the holidays, but they also have several decorating ideas. This year it seems that the decorations are more home made than before, so there is really no reason not to have them.
If you have one of these books, you want them all, here's 2006.
My Favorite Cookbooks.......2007-02-07
These recipes are the easiest to use, the best-tasting and the most well-organized of all my recipe books. I have the entire set and use them all the time. This one arrived in "just like new" condition at a great price.
So. Living Annual Recipes Book.......2007-01-18
The product was great, the Amazon service was poor. When I ordered this item, I was advised by Amazon that if I ordered a second item to increase my total over $25, I would receive free shipping. I then ordered a second item, BUT Amazon then charged me shipping on both items. A REAL TRICK.
The second, not my prime order, arrived sooner than expected, the So.Living recipe book, shipped from Amazon arrived 2 days later than the latest advised arrival time.

Customer Reviews:
Hardly counts as cooking.......2007-09-07
Nearly every recipe relies heavily on canned soup, processed cheese, bottled sauce, etc. Not my idea of home cooking. I'm donating this one to the library book sale.
Good Cookbook!!! Lots of Comfort Food!.......2007-07-23
Bought this after seeing it at a friends home. Have made a few of the recipes and all are very good. I am very pleased with this book - it has many great family style recipes that are easy and healthy.
Oh, yuk!.......2006-12-30
Just more dumb crock-pot recipes that rely on one packaged product after another being dumped in. Why would I want to use a whole bottle of BBQ sauce in a recipe?
Where is the book that uses fresh ingredients, mixed together in a sensible (and maybe slightly creative??) way, simmers them together in the crock pot during the course of the day, resulting in an easy - and HEALTHY - meal? This book is NOT it!
Not many interesting recipes.......2006-12-08
I want a slow cooker cook book for main course recipes, this book emphasizes side dishes, desserts, etc. and has few main course recipes that interest me. Some of the ones I looked at said to cook 9 hours on high which doesn't make sense, based on my experience with crock pots, but I did not try them so can't say if the advice is wrong. I purchased used, cheaply, but would NOT pay full price for it.
Not well thought out.......2006-10-16
Although the recipes are lovely, too many of them (at least half!) have cooking times of 4 or 5 hours. So for the wonderful breakfast casserole, I'm supposed to get up at 4 a.m. to put it together for breakfast at 8? What were they possibly thinking? And I'm also supposed to run home from work at 2 p.m. to put dinner on for 6 p.m. that night? Huh? Maybe these recipes are supposed to appeal to folks who don't have jobs, and are free to start the meal at anytime (althought the 4 a.m. breakfast recipe still puzzles me). But are they really the folks who use slow cookers? Most of us want recipes that cook for at least 8 hours, so that we can put them on before we go to work and have them ready and waiting when we get home. Maybe someone at Southern Cooking needs a reality check.

Another Southern Living Jackpot.......2007-08-23
What can I say? This book is full of gorgeous color photos and delicious, timeless recipes. If you know Southern Living, then you already expect and know that this is another great installment. If you don't know Southern Living, start with this book and welcome to the family.
This ones a keeper.... Great Cookbook! And I dont even cook!.......2007-08-02
This cookbook has the most wonderful receipes. I cant wait to try them...but the color photos are to die for...it makes you want to run to the store and buy the ingredients... I put the book on my living room table for casual reading and guests have been picking it up... I cant wait to try the fried chicken recipe...it calls for some bacon fat! No jokes! Real southern friend chicken for sure!
Cooking as Art.......2007-07-09
No one has better recipes than Southern Living except my wife. The only thing better than the recipes in this book is the photograpy.This is how food is suppose to look. A cookbook without pictures leaves you wondering do I really want to try this dish? This book shouts "I sure do!" Though not evey entre' is photographed, enough are to make you hungry to try them out. And what good is a cook book that is never opened. A great gift for the cook in your life. No one promotes Southern Hospitality and graceous living like Southern Living. A winner of a book

I always look forward to any Southern Living cookbook, and am never disappointed. This is a great one, great recipes and great reading.

Absolutely amazing.......2004-07-16
I LOVE this book! It's just so nice to be able to grab a cookbook when you're in a huge hurry for dinner to be ready fast, that provides you wonderful menus and easy directions for meals in no time flat. The food is wonderful and there are even recipes for making them a little less fattening. If you can't find it here on amazon, check ebay and oxmoorhouse.com. You can almost always find one on these two sites.
The Best.......2004-05-16
I absolutely love this book. The recipes are so simple and quick. I would love to give it as a gift but can no longer find it.
The only cookbook I use!!.......2004-03-28
This was a gift from my mother, and I have tried MANY of the recipes-- all of which have been easy & delicious. My sister is addicted to hers as well, and I plan to buy another copy as a wedding gift.
I love this book!.......2004-02-28
I have only had this book for a week and have already made 5 recipes from it! Very simple, quick recipes that taste great. I highly recommend it!
The title says it all...........2003-01-22
This cookbook is full of quick easy recipes for those who dont have alot of time during the week to cook elaborate meals. Although some of the recipes will make it seem to others as if you spent more time than you did. About 90% of the recipes have pictures associated with it so you can see what your end result should look like. A couple of my favorites in this book include, easy enchiladas, oriental burgers, and nacho chicken. And for those who like dessert, might I suggest, easy brickle cake.
