The world's last authentic overnight wooden steamboat, the Delta Queen cruised America's inland waters from 1927 through 2008, offering passengers breathtaking views, luxury accommodations, rousing entertainment, and southern-style feasts. For over eighty-two years, chefs in the small galley served memorable meals--from fried chicken and crawfish en cro te to strawberry shortcake and beignets. The Delta Queen Cookbook brings the Delta Queen's story to life with an engaging historical narrative and over 125 recipes prepared by the steamboat's former chefs during their tenures in the cookhouse. Nobles traces the story of the Grand Old Lady as she faced remarkable social, economic, and political challenges. The Delta Queen became a haven for illegal drinking during Prohibition, and she survived the effects of the Great Depression, World War II, and increasingly modern and sophisticated competition. Despite the obstacles, this flapper-era boat always found a seamless way to coddle passengers with cozy staterooms and delectable fare. Each chapter ends with authentic Delta Queen recipes--including Citrus and Watercress Salad with Chili Dressing, Roast Duck and Wild Rice Soup, Speckled Trout Pecan, Eggs Crawkitty, Steamboat Pudding, and more--proportioned and tested for home kitchens.

The Delta Queen Cookbook includes interviews with former crew, chefs, and passengers; over ninety historical and full-color photographs; and vintage and modern menus. History buffs, steamboat lovers, and home cooks alike will revel in the memories and tastes that make the Delta Queen one of America's best-loved national treasures.

Very soft, not firm at all
This pillow is very floppy and not firm at all. It is quite large and I was surprised at the size. My dog has taken a liking to it and decided it's now her new dig bed, which is fine by me, because it's really too soft for my liking. If you like soft pillows then this is for you. If you require something with a bit more support then you won't enjoy this pillow.

Soft and supportive
I recently purchased the this pillow and I am happy with the quality and comfort it provides. Pillow is soft, plush, and supportive without being too firm. The down alternative fill offers the balance of fluffiness and structure, making them ideal for all sleep positions. Whether I’m sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, these pillows adapt beautifully and keep me comfortable throughout the night. They’re also breathable and skin-friendly, which is a huge plus for anyone with sensitive skin. After using them, I wake up feeling well-rested and free of neck stiffness. I like it.

Pillow
These DIORIS pillows are a game-changer! I’ve tried many pillows over the years, but these are by far the best. The down alternative fill is incredibly soft yet supportive, providing just the right amount of fluffiness without feeling too firm or too soft. I sleep on my side, and these pillows cradle my head and neck perfectly, giving me the support I need for a restful night. They’re breathable and skin-friendly, which is great since I tend to get hot while I sleep. The queen size is just right for my bed, and the pillows maintain their shape night after night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive, and durable pillow.

this pillow does work
For months my neck had been brothering me every morning when I woke up. Figured it was stress and I always planned on getting a massage. But I never did it. I ended up seeing this pillow on Amazon and got it. It was almost an instant 180. My neck pain is gone! This pillow is stuffed very full but isn't super firm. It's a bit hard to describe. The seams are well sewn and the pillow has held up very well for a week now. No weird smells or any type of red flag that I found. It's easy to flip and reshape in an instant.

Comfortable to use with firm support
This set of queen-size pillows has a great balance between softness and support. The down alternative fill feels plush and comfortable. The pillows also provide enough firmness to support the neck and shoulders. A better sleep quality achieved with less tossing and turning. For sleeping on side, back, or stomach, the pillows keep their shape and offer consistent comfort. A good choice for the improvement of sleep quality with more comfort.
