So Reese Witherspoon wrote a book and its as fabulous as you would expect. It’s full of life and love and laughter and cheese. The recipes are delightfully Southern, the photography is enchanting and the stories will catch your heart and have you laughing out loud.

I learned an amazing new trick for baking biscuits, and I can’t wait to try it! I made her cheese straws, and they’re the perfect party food, just like she said.

Reese writes about life in the south as a girl, the influence her grandmother had on her style, and so much more. She brings her personality to every page. Her humor and style are expressed through every word she writes.
