An authentic voice shares the richness of the culture and food of the African american experience
I have owned this book for over a decade now. It is splattered and dog eared, great praise in my kitchen. I love the book on many levels, the recipes of course are wonderful and familiar reminders from my childhood. Like many grown up folks, I neglected to take note of exactly what my grandma and great grandma were doing to create the magic that emerged from their kitchens. This book gives back some of those gifts. My mother and my sister own this book and we often check with Sheila first before we embark on one of these old home favorites.
This book is also rich with the black experience of people emerging with enthusiam and curiousity from the south to the north to places like Philadelphia, Detroit and New York city to experience the great big world and find their place in it. I love the photographs and stories about family members, the grandma who died early, who believed that someone had rooted her and lost the will to live, the auntie who moved to New york and made a grand living as a bootlegger and juke joint owner, along with all their favorite specialities from the kitchen. This book is a treasure.
Haven't found a bad recipe yet!
I picked up this cookbook a couple of months ago and have been working my way through its pages, so far I haven't found a bad recipe. The instructions are detailed and easy to understand and it has allowed me to get my family to try foods that they would not otherwise eat (the Cheesy Squash Casserole will change anyone's mind about squash), it has me cooking and preparing foods in ways I never would have considered. The stories behind the recipes are endearing and the history of Soul Food is enlightening. I plan on purchasing a few copies to give as gifts since the finished results are very popular among my family.
Southern Cooking Recipes
Thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook. I was first introduced to this book by my husband who learned to cook with a Chef. I borrowed the book and misplaced it and had to deal with endless sour looks from my husband who could not be consoled. I ordered another copy when I thought all was lost and then found the original one. Now we have two copies and everyone lives happily ever after! The recipes are wonderful and old-fashioned favorites abound in this book.
Great Down Home Style Recipes
I am a mom of a large family, and I love this cookbook.The recipes are **great**,I also like the stories (and the history of some of the dishes) that come with the recipes.These are Down Home Style recipes that use things we have on hand in our kitchens and pantries.All the recipes I have tried in this book have turned out well, and my family loved them.GREAT Southern Soul Food Cookbook.My Grandma taught me how to cook and some of these remind me of her recipes (of course none were ever wrote down, she knew what to put in them though, and how much). Enjoy!!
Fantastic Cookbook!
I use this book all the time. The author infuses authentic soul food recipes with tales of her and our rich cultural heritage. From sumptuous buttermilk biscuits to delicious sweet potatoe pie, the recipes are easy to follow. Every recipe I've made in this book has turned out delicious. This is also a great gift for newlyweds.
