Editorial Reviews

Admitting that, "like most Southerners," he's "been obsessed with biscuits his entire life," cookbook author Villas is eminently qualified to write about this beloved staple of Southern and other tables. His mouth-watering recipes not only include biscuits-from Maryland Beaten Biscuits to Blue Cheese and Walnut Cocktail Biscuits-but also scones (a close cousin) and dishes made with biscuit dough, such as James Beard's Blueberry Grunt. He also provides a good introduction, "Biscuit Basics," along with tips and culinary lore. For most baking collections. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
