“Bridgette Lacy’s book will appeal to all who are interested in southern cooking. For those who have fond memories of the Sunday dinner tradition, Lacy’s wonderful voice comes through loud and clear as she encourages the continuing celebration of the tradition, richly describing dishes and conveying to the reader that Sunday dinners are a special treat no matter how small or how large your family.” — Adrian Miller, author of Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time and winner of the 2014 James Beard Foundation Book Award in Reference and Scholarship

“As Bridgette Lacy knows, for southerners the Sunday dinner is a sacred occasion no matter if or in which house we worship. Lacy brings us right up to the storied tables of her childhood, laden with the classic dishes that celebrate the week’s achievements and offer us peace when we're dispirited. She is a born storyteller, and her depictions of Sunday dinner are so lovingly rendered that even the most hard-hearted, eat-to-live, agnostic among us are moved by the power of togetherness embodied in this meal.” — Kelly Alexander, author of Smokin' with Myron Mixon and James Beard Journalism Award winner
