The first thing that struck me with this cookbook was the gorgeous pictures along with a personal bits about the authors own life and family. I loved how it made you feel like a friend of the family who she just wanted to share some yummy goodness with. I love the down home feel of the book and the local pictures to show off the theme of the cooking. As I looked through the recipes I have to say that some of them I did not have the cookwear mentioned and did not know how to use them. However, it encouraged me to get them and learn how. The recipes actually sound easy enough to make! I think I would like most the recipes shown. It depends on what kind of food you like and what your eating lifestyle is but, I felt this book had many great satisfying meals that I would love to share with family as well.

Elizabeth Heiskell does wonderful cookbooks and this book is no exception. I love the categories by 'days' - school days, diet days, etc.. Her books have wonderful pictures and stories - great to read as much as use for cooking. Author has a great way of incorporating her background and stories in the cookbook without it being kitschy or fake. The recipes are interesting but nothing is super unique so 4 stars rating.

This cookbook has beautiful mouth-watering photos of the recipes. The ingredients in her recipes, for the most part, are easily found at your local grocery store or in your pantry. I was a bit put off by those recipes using condensed soup. The recipes seem easy to follow without a ton of steps to follow. The recipes in the Party Foods section seemed elevated yet easy to make. Since I do not have kids, the School Days section was not relevant. She includes chef tips and mom tips although they all could have just been labeled as tips. In the Pots de Creme recipe, I wish she had indicated if the heated cream is hot enough to cook the eggs.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

I really loved the recipes in this book, my favorite chapter hands down was for cheat days. If you love southern food, this cookbook is a must have with easy, doable recipes. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a great cookbook. I think it is definitely full of great offerings to make for company in various situations or for nights you are feeling indulgent. Come on Over! is comfort food at it's best. I bookmarked so many recipes to try. I also liked that there was a section for healthier dishes for when you need something non-indulgent for dinner. Most of those recipes also sounded delicious so you don't have to feel like you are missing out on anything.

A lovely, well put together book of delicious sounding recipes. All the photographs are enticing and I can wait to try out some more of the recipes. Easy to follow and great for novice cooks through to experts

I always love me some Southern-style cooking! It feels like a bit of an indulgence and always a treat.

I enjoyed flipping through this cookbook. It's a charming cover that easily makes my mouth water! The pictures are nice throughout the book. The commentary is good and Elizabeth Heiskell tells some funny stories but sometimes her tone about her upbringing grated on my nerves.

That said the recipes look fantastic. Nice and easy home-style dishes with ingredients that are easy to find or are already in your pantry. I like how the recipes are divided into many sections. There are: Week days, Party days, Delta days, Summer days, Beach days, Game days, School days, Diet days, and Cheat days. Endless recipes for any time or occasion. I especially will try Elizabeth's mom's recipe for, "Chicken Tetrazzini." It sounds so easy and yet delicious.

I also know I have got to try the, "Lemon Sparklers" at my next gathering. I think these will be an absolute hit! Another must try is the, "Tacky Tacky Meatballs." After all what spells PARTY food more than meatballs?

I'd like to kindly thank Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing and NetGalley for granting me access to this Advance Reader's Copy.

A beautifully put together book full of delicious recipes to try, stunning photography and gorgeous anecdotes about family and friends. Easy to navigate chapters for the different days in your life.

So many tasty recipes to make! Love all of the beautiful colorful photos as well! Definitely good for those who love to cook!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Some good recipes for the upcoming fall for me.

Southern cooking is a fun and delicious indulgence and this book delivers several approachable meals for Sunday dinners, daily life, days you're eating thoughtfully and even cheat days. The recipes are a mix of scratch meals made with whole ingredients and some are made with pantry staples like ranch dressing for those hectic days.

This cookbook would easily be five stars were it not for the author's endless anecdotes about her wealth and popularity. That quickly grew tiresome, so four stars.

Thank you to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and NetGalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a nice mixture of homemade and easy to make quick recipes using packaged goods. Beautifully photographed, well-written, and a nice assortment of recipes for every occasion.

Full of recipes for the whole family, I will keep this book for a lifetime. Blooming with new recipes, party ideas, plating plans, this book covers it all. This book encompasses the heart of cooking and making it look good too. New ideas to try for all seasons, there is really nothing this book does not have. I want to use all of these ideas and have the party be the prize of the season, inspiring others to use these recipes and ideas.

I really loved this cookbook with all sorts of cool recipes. The pictures were great and really highlighted what you could make. The directions were simple so it's something I could make at home.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This book was just OK with me. There is a lot of beautiful photographs which is always a plus in a cookbook. The book is divided into chapters- week days, party days, delta days, summer days, beach days, school days, diet days and cheat days. There are a variety of creative recipes that look and taste great. I have tried the spaghetti pie, the cornbread muffins and the peach/blueberry cobbler and liked them very much.

The cooking is not too involved which is a plus for me. There are a lot that use packaged mixes like salad dressing and gravy so if you are a purist you won't find that here. I personally don't mind but am giving a heads up.

I didn't care much for the author and her continual stories of about how rich she is. I quit reading her text after awhile because, frankly, I don't care how she cavorted at the country club growing up with her unlimited expense account.

The recipes were OK but not too special. This is just an okay cookbook.

I received this as an ARC from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in exchange for an honest review. I really loved this cookbook. The photographs were excellent and highlighted the food and the author. I especially enjoyed the introduction to each recipe and the little notes in the ingredients list and directions. I am not a fan of processed foods, like cream of mushroom soup or ranch dressing mix, but you could either skip those recipes or find a replacement for those items. The book has recipes to suit so many occasions and tastes and most were simple to make and contained a reasonable number of ingredients, most of which I typically have in my kitchen.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this advance copy.

This cookbook is great! I love the variety of recipes and the pictures are amazing. I'm really looking forward to trying some of them. I might have to add a physical copy of this cookbook to my collection.

Come On Over! by Elizabeth Heiskell definitely lives up to the title phrase “Southern Delicious for Every Day and Every Occasion”. This book reminds me of the church cookbooks of my youth filled with recipes requested time and again. Each recipe in this book feels like “home”. As I’ve worked my way through the recipes none have been fussy or complicated, and each turned out delicious. The vignettes that precede each of the recipes personalize the book in a way that resonated with me. This book has earned a place on my cookbook shelf and will soon become smudged and dog-eared with use.

I've tried every device that I have and every computer and I cannot open this file. So I can't rate this book

I want to read this, but I can't open it. I have contacted NetGalley, but they said it should open but it doesn't.
