The title is completely appropriate! Simple dishes with great flavor for unusual but tasty dishes!

not completely sold on the tone of the narratives in the book, but love the ideas + flavors represented. I can see the pickles + salads going into regular rotation in our house, and I cannot wait to make rice pudding pops and jasmine tea ice cream.

I loved the Lee Brothers from the first time I saw them on the Cooking Channel, and was thrilled when I found out they were coming to do a cooking demo in my area - they are so nice and funny. I had never thought about it before, but one of them pointed out that not being restaurant chefs probably makes it easier to write cookbooks and do demos for a home cook audience, since they are used to the kind of tools the average person has at home, and for cooking in normal quantities at a normal pace. The cookbook is just like that, too - they don't focus on expensive and hard to find ingredients or require complicated techniques or equipment - just about everything in here could be made in a basic starter kitchen. The introductions to the recipes are great, too - it's not often that I sit down and read a cookbook in the living room, but this is the kind that will draw you into doing that. The recipes are "southern" in the sense that they are inspired by the brothers' childhood in Charleston, so there is a definite seafood/low country slant - but the recipes would go over great in any region. So no matter where you live, check this one out - it may just end your cookbook-induced frustration.
