Summary: Great Memories At the Bottom of Each Recipe Page
Review: 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".

Summary: Succulent Dishes
Review: I have one criterion that overrides all others when I get a new cookbook: does it make me want to get up and cook? This one did, in spades. I could hardly wait until the next morning to go shopping! Beautifully and clearly written, it will become a permanent part of my books.

Summary: Succulent Dishes
Review: 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.

Summary: Needs a little something more
Review: 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.
