For twenty-five years Recipes from Miss Daisy's has been the cookbook of
choice for the thousands of people who have enjoyed the warm hospitality
and delicious food that were the hallmarks of Miss Daisy's Tearoom in
Franklin and in the Green Hills area of Nashville, Tennessee. Now, in
response to popular demand, a new edition of the ""wonderful little
yellow cookbook"" has been lovingly prepared for those who have nearly
worn out their well-thumbed copies as well as generations of Middle
Tennesseans who will continue to enjoy it for years to come. The story
of Miss Daisy's Tearoom is as interesting as the food served there. When
Carter's Court in Franklin was still on the drawing board, the
developers recognized the need for a place where ladies could come for
lunch. When a turn-of-the-century house was moved there, people
exclaimed, ""That's got to be a tearoom,"" and so it was. The restaurant
moved to Green Hills in 1982, expanding to a full-service restaurant,
and returning to Franklin in 1986 as Daisy's of Carter's Court. The,
food in ""Recipes from Miss Daisy's is the same food that was served at
the restaurants plus some more wonderful dishes that no proper
Southerner could resist. Turkey Divan, Buttermilk Pie, Congealed
Cucumber Salad, Sally Lunn Muffins, Creamed Chicken, Festive Cranberry
Salad, Marinated Carrots, Fudge Pie, Garden Tomato Stuffed with Tearoom
Tuna Salad, Miss Daisy's Beef Casserole (a favorite!), and Tomato Aspic
are among the Tearoom favorites that have become classic fare for Middle
Tennesseans and across the South. Updated to include serving amounts and
to clarify some of the original instructions, this 25th anniversary
edition of ""Recipes from Miss Daisy's willearn a well-deserved place in
kitchens and on cookbook shelves everywhere.""
