Succulent Dishes

I love this book. I use it almost every week to prepare Sunday dinner. All the recipes are easy to follow and the dishes tastes just like mama's and grandma's soul food cooking.
You won't be disappointed with this book. It's a Godsend.

Best Black Cookbook on the shelves

I liked this cookbook so well that I have purchased it three times, after I lost my original copy and then again for my cooking challenged cousin. It offered me some tasty recipies similar to my Mom's and Grandmother's with consistent measurements. I have, based on their tasting, adjusted the recipies I use and now have my mother asking what I did to keep getting it right. I am not one of those throw a little of this and that together cooks (I had trouble not burning water). This book has helped me get started and I continue to pursue better cooking recipies and techniques from all over. As I don't cook often, I find that the book is simple enough for a novice cook and offers a lot of variety and wisdom as well.

Remembering Mothers' Kitchen

If you remember 1 smell, 1 taste or 1 conversation with your mother in the kitchen, then you need to get this book!!

Not only are the recipes all great and the memories of advice and antidotes are priceless.

These are Great Women, Great Moms and Great Recipes.
The book would be a wonderful read, even if there were no recipes!

This book should not just be read by African American ladies, but by all ladies. It will bring back memories and provide smiles for everyone.



Needs a little something more

Most of these recipes are not the versions that your grandmother made. Some of them are things that your mama never would've thought about cooking. A lot of them are the quickie or new versions. You may want to consider the Ebony Cookbook or Slyvia's or the grand dame of black heritage cookbooks, Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine.

Great Memories At the Bottom of Each Recipe Page

From memories of their mothers's good advice at the bottom of the 'Gumbo recipe' on Pg 15 "Never let your emotions run away with your better judgement" to a pg 138 'recipe "World War I Cake" '."If you are so smart,tell me what is better than goodness"...to the 'Billy's Ribs recipe' on Pg 82 "Be your own person;do the very best you can all the time and let God do the rest"..the book published by 'the National Council of Negro Women,Inc.' has an abundance of 'food' for thought as well as for "goode eating".
