I made the (kind of) mistake of buying the "Master Chef Cookbook," and it was delivered before Whitney's cookbook. I then worried that "Modern Hospitality" would be full of the same type of recipes as "Master Chef Cookbook." In other words, stuff I will probably never cook, using ingredients I can't afford on a good day, much less every day. I mean - I'd only learn to cook like that if the Master Chef pantry was at my disposal every day. Fortunately, "Modern Hospitality" is, as promised, simple.

There are few recipes with ingredients I'd consider exotic and the majority of them I will actually try, especially the "Cauliflower Mac 'n' Cheese." I've always enjoyed Southern cooking and this is a beautiful representation of that region's flavors, but modernized. Congratulations to Whitney for winning Master Chef and for a really nice cookbook!

I liked Whitney quite a bit when she won MasterChef awhile back. I was very interested in her cookbook. The actual cookbook is a little too frilly and girly for me. It's very sweet. A little too sweet - I stared at the picture of Game-Day Chili served in dainty teacups. With saucers. REALLY? That being said, some of the recipes looked quite good. Whitney cooks a lot with dairy products - lots of heavy cream. I don't cook with dairy much.

If I did, the Cauliflower "Mac 'n' Cheese" looked intriguing. I did make a delicious dish called Braised Cabbage with Bacon and Onions. It was wonderful! My cabbage quarters did not stay intact, but who cared? The chicken broth made the fried cabbage taste so good. I will make that again. I also tried the Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Blondies. I didn't have a sweet potato to mash so I used some frozen pureed butternut squash. I live at a high altitude so I decreased the sugar. That may be why it puffed up like a cake. The picture shows a much more dense dessert. It's good though, just a bit too crumbly. So I liked this cookbook but there weren't a lot of recipes I wanted to make from it.

What a gorgeous, simple, truly Southern cookbook! I had no idea who this woman was, having never watched MasterChef, but I completely charmed by her beautiful smile and her delicious food. The recipes are simple and easy to follow with lots of food pictures and pretty decorations to inspire. Traditional favorites are served up next to creative and original recipes. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who loves real Southern cooking.

Cute little girl puts together a book of recipes... This would make a nice bridal shower gift for the girl who has made reservations her whole life. In other words, for the girl who doesn't know where her kitchen is. Bright, simple, easy peasy. Cute little girl puts together a book of recipes...

Haven't tried the recipes yet but I loved the book. Met her August 2011 at Barns and Nobles at her book signing. She's a cute girl and was fun to talk to about the show.

Loved Whitney on MasterChef, season one. Loved the idea of the book, but didn't like the recipes. I ended up doctoring each one to my tastes, or combining them with others I liked better. Great ideas, but some of the food portions are too big to be bites for a tea party or gathering (shrimp rolls, stuffed zuccini - need to be smaller). Tried many recipes, and though I love Whitney and support her, I love the ideas in the book more than the recipes themselves. Loved Whitney on MasterChef, season one.

My little cousin won the contest with the best of the best southern lovely cooking from our Grandmother as well as her father's mother. What a wonderful thing it is to have Grandmothers who love to feed us as children. My turn will be soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by this cookbook. I judge a cookbook by how many recipes I mark to try. I marked a lot in this book. It features ingrediants we get from our CSA share so I cannot wait to try it out!

I remembered watching her cook, and simply amazed by her skills n knowledge at a young age. Her recipes are simple yet so mouthwatering! My favorite would be the crab cakes with sweet and spicy coleslaw and the toasted coconut cupcakes with lemon glaze..

beautiful pictures but not really recipes I would make
Jennifer –
This book is amazing! I want to make everything out of it. The Molten Lava Cakes are the best I have ever had, although I recommend using Ice-cream with it to tone it down a little.
Beka –
Some lovely recipes and pictures.
