Julie and I have always enjoyed Vera's fine cooking, and we made it a point to stop by her cafe during the Masters.  Her delicious items are numerous, and we especially love her red velvet cake - which practically melts in your mouth!

This book, like Vera, is the best of the best! As a friend and guest on her show, I know her fans and readers will love this cookbook.  I have always found joy in sharing my recipes and I know Vera will feel the same. Y'all, I cannot wait to give the cake chapters some testing!

The first time I tasted a Very Vera caramel cake, I thought she had kidnapped my grandmother and forced her to bake.  For years, I bought caramel cakes and red velvet cakes and meals for myself and as gifts.  It broke my heart when Vera decided to close her mail order business because I could never duplicate her delicacies using recipes I found in other cookbooks.  But now I have hope because of her cookbook.  Now, if I can just get her to my kitchen to make sure I'm doing everything right.

Vera has a magnetic personality - just full of energy and enthusiasm - and her delicious recipes are equally as a dynamic and so beautifully represented in her new cookbook.   A little something for everyone, it is undoubtedly a must-have for any good Southerner’s kitchen.

My family and I have been fortunate enough to have Vera’s delicious cooking on several occasions—we always especially loved her meatloaf. I’m excited that her cookbook makes it possible to enjoy her food on any occasion. Tahnee and I look forward to trying our hand at some VeryVera classics and sharing them with friends in Athens.

From the moment we met Vera, we were swept away by her feisty, intrepid, and entrepreneurial spirit. Her success in business, television and in the kitchen is attributable to these qualities. And her delicious foray into cookbook publishing shows off her tremendous grace, too. She has a way with food and entertaining that is uniquely reassuring and inspiring. The VeryVera Cookbook beautifully portrays Vera's world and her story, along with enough recipes and Southern secrets to fuel a hundred weekends of good times in the kitchen!

I was lucky enough to have Vera Stewart’s Carrot Cake while I was in Augusta for the Masters. It is hands-down the best Carrot Cake I have ever tasted—the frosting alone is out of this world! Knowing that the secret recipe is in her new cookbook is reason enough to buy a copy.

Each time I’ve cooked with Vera, it has been an experience filled with her warmth and comfort that can only come from years of experience. Each page of “The Very Vera Cookbook” reflects her passion for honest food and nourishing those around her. This collection is as beautiful to look at as it is mouthwatering to cook from.

Vera Stewart and her brand are synonymous with quality. Vera has catered many of my Augusta-area events over the years, and I never leave town without picking up some of her cheese straws! I’m so glad her cookbook will give others the opportunity to experience her fine creations at home -- their friends and loved ones are in for a real treat!
