This was one of the first cookbooks I purchased, and I have baked most of the dessert recipes within this charming book. I love the photographic choices made here, like capturing multiple baked goods in one photo, followed by the recipes on the following pages. The headnotes for each recipe are so personal and sweet, providing a glimpse into Mr. Bailey’s life and dear friendships while giving the reader a taste of southern living and hospitality.

Lee’s books on casual, simply elegant entertaining are full of great recipes and inspiring photos. If I had to choose one, this would be it. I rarely make desserts unless I have company. His recipes are always straightforward and the results are delicious.

Had this book as a kid, and read every word like it was the Bible. It made everything from chocolate angel food cake to peppermint ice cream seem so breezy and approachable.
