An exquisite showcase of history and meaningful recipes!!
Published by Norri Simms , 1 year ago
I preordered my book when I seen the Author on TV on Juneteenth 2023. I’m so happy I did!! It’s a vibrant and colorful book that my four year old even enjoyed!! She wanted me to read the history and recipes on every page and discussed the colorful illustrations!! I was truly empowered reading this book and I can’t wait to cook every recipe in the book!! I want to order another as a keepsake! This book is truly a Gem! Looking forward to more!
