Ambrosia, a delightful cookbook from the Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg Mississippi, takes us on a full-color seasonal photo tour of the foods and history of the Deep South.

Beginning with an introduction from Mississippi's First Lady, Patricia Owens Fordice, you'll find every season and event spiced with a little history, personal recollections, and anecdotes. The book is divided into four seasonal sections with 25 occasions and events in all, each with accompanying menus and recipes shown in settings of beautiful Vicksburg homes and historical buildings.
