"A book for readers who can't get enough of pecans."--Library Journal
"The food editor of the Charlotte Observer, Purvis follows a familiar format with 52 recipes, a chatty preface, and conversational notes about every dish. Who could not laugh out loud over [Purvis’s] story of a consumer looking for pecan meats, insistent that just plain old pecans wouldn’t do?"--Booklist

"Make it Southern. [SAVOR THE SOUTH] explores and celebrates Southern ingredients and cooking."--Raleigh News & Observer
"Recipes are well-written, easy to follow, and broken into nice, neat chapters. . . . Pack this little book in a box. . . and ship it to your favorite cook. You'll be a holiday hero."--Austin Chronicle
