Best Black Cookbook on the shelves
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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.

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.
Written So Well You Can Smell It!

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.

THIS BOOK IS A LIFE SAVER. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME AND WANTED SOME HOME COOKING. THIS BOOK HELPED ME TO FEEL LIKE I WAS BACK IN MY MOMMA'S KITCHEN. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE MEATLOAF! OH MY GOD. MAKE YOU WANNA TO SLAP SOMEBODY. TO GOOD FOR WORDS
