Most cookbooks on Amazon have just a handful of reviews, but The Lady & Sons Just Desserts has over 20, a testament to people's love of Paula Deen and of Southern desserts. It is a volume of classic Southern favorites, like Chess Pie, and desserts that are now well-known to many as Paula Deen's, regardless of whether they originated with her or not, like Gooey Butter Cake and butter. Oh, is butter not a dessert?
The recipes range from relatively complex to simple, with a fair few starting off with a box of cake mix, and all the instructions are very straightforward, so it is perfect for a beginner or for someone who simply doesn't bake too much and still loves the idea of something homemade when they do. If you like Paula's easy, charming style and want to impress (or fatten) your friends and relatives without trying too hard, this book will definitely get you there.
