The recipes in the book were mostly food that her family or people in her community would have cooked, so the style is distinctly Southern U.S. country. As someone who grew up outside the U.S., I actually know next to nothing about Southern dishes, so everything was fascinating. Three dishes particularly struck me as novel: 1) They saute bananas! With lemon juice! 2) They poach pears in sugary water as dessert! 3) They bake apples as dessert! These three are the most simple recipes. Other recipes take more trouble to make. It seems to me that a lot of the work involved is largely due to the constraint of technology ( For example, in order to eat fruit in the winter in the late 19th and early 20th century, you have to make them into preserves. You just don't have other choices.)
