'At long last, we have a Florida cookbook that is really good! Jane Nickerson's Florida Cookbook is the work of a good cook who can write, a rare combination for some reason. Even better, Mrs. Nickerson is possessed of wit and culinary judgment--qualities often lacking in the works of so many other authors who have turned out books containing Florida recipes.

Outstanding recipes written for use in your kitchen with ideas for enhancing your own recipes.

Voltz and Stuart move through all six areas of Florida, from the Panhandle to the Keys, telling tales of bygone times and annual food celebrations, and offering a wealth of information about enjoying the riches of this diverse state. Here are 200 recipes for Oyster Roast, Florida Conch Salad, Smothered Rabbit, and Fresh Banana Layer Cake. 50 illustrations.

Since the original Best of the Best from Florida Cookbook was released in 1986, hundreds of wonderful new cookbooks have evolved from Florida's diverse cuisine. So many, in fact, that the editors felt Florida should be revisited with the release of a brand-new cookbook featuring a completely new collection of the most popular recipes from the Sunshine State's leading cookbooks. Best of the Best from Florida offers such delightful recipes as tender, flaky Baked Snapper Fillets, zesty Sandpipers Onion Tart, and refreshing Key Lime Rum Pie.
