Okra can be a challenge even for good cooks. Thank goodness there's a great cook like Virginia Willis here to help those of us who love to eat it but have been challenged by cooking it.--Los Angeles Times

Virginia Willis can do magic with okra, frying it crisp, turning it into gumbo and also shares African, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Indian recipes for this odd vegetable. This book is a must for okra lovers, but also those, like me who don't have a clue how to prepare it.--Cooking with Amy food blog

50 delicious recipes, both southern and worldwide, and just about everything else you would ever want to know about okra.--Foodsite Magazine
