Cooking in the South with Johnnie Gabriel

I have to brag for a second and share with you a great success story! My mom has had a close knit group of girlfriends here in Marietta long before I was born. One lady in particular has been as close as a sister to her, Johnnie Gabriel. So much so that she is my Godmother. :) Johnnie opened an INCREDIBLE restaurant in Marietta called Gabriels Desserts years ago. Not only can you order wedding cakes, birthday cakes and desserts, you can now have breakfast, lunch and dinner as well! The homemade veges are my favorite! The thing about Johnnie if you know her is her heart of gold. She loves the Lord and loves serving those around her. She has just published her first cookbook and it is so special. Not only does it have a ton of yummy recipes in it, there are so many personal stories inside Johnnies life. If you are in the need of a good cookbook with recipes that you know you don't have to make once before your guests arrive, this one is for you! It is a classic! You can go to Barnes and Nobel and get it or at her resturant to eat and buy!
