"My favorite cookbook in the 2006 Tabasco Award was Tastes, Tales and Traditions. It is delightful to the eye - airy and light - and the recipes are inviting. It is also filled with artwork of regional artists, which greatly adds to its attractiveness. Lighter fare has a large presence for such occasions as afternoon teas, but there are elegant company dishes too. There are a number of menus for special occasions with eye-catching recipes." Peter Franklin, The Cookbook Nook

"This book is very professional in presentation. It is obvious that a professional designer, someone who knows color scheme, format, design and printing held the hand of this project. The format and design are rich and full of hi-resolution photos. The artwork is well placed and works well with the overall scheme of the book. The stories are witty and well told. The printing is high caliber, and the binding is well done as well." Writers Digest

The passion, hard work, and creativity on display show the lasting commitment this organization has for its rich and storied cultural and culinary traditions." McIlhenny Company
