Summary: Very likely the best soul food cookbook in print
Comment: A cookbook will be judged primarily on its recipes and this one really delivers the goods. Unlike so many books that chase prevailing food trends and offer gimmicky recipes with needlessly lengthy ingredients lists, this one presents plenty of time-tested classics that are economical and simple to prepare. A cookbook that you'll really *use*, rather than just put on your coffee table. The affectionate background material included by the author is a charming bonus.

Summary: Well done (no pun intended!)
Comment: This is a really practical book full of easily followed recipes, anecdotes and pictures. Those of us raised in the church know about the important role of those manning the pots. Not just anyone got to serve on the kitchen committee. No indeed. Only those accomplished cooks who knew how to "put their foot in it," were allowed to toil most church kitchens. I am glad to see that this author has drawn on the wisdom of these faithful chefs and was able to get them to share their recipes.
I love to cook whenever we have big family gathering because we're all so busy now and spread out all over the East Coast. We don't always have the time to prepare these types of meals for ourselves on a regular basis, but for special occasions, this is one of my favorite books. I especially like the wheat bread recipe. One day when I'm feeling bold, I will move on the dinner rolls and angel biscuits.
I enjoyed looking at the black and white pictures showing the cooks working and the parishoners enjoying the food. There is a lot of history in this book. You might just want to order two copies -- one for the kitchen and another for the coffee table.

Summary: Hmmm Hmmm Good!
Comment: Sister White, I love useing this cook book and I'm not crazy about cooking. I tried the Gulf Coast Gumbo and the Perfect Steamed Rice the day I borrowed this book from the libary, girl I orderd the book the same day. WONDERFUL!
Can't go wrong. And I love the stories and the pictures. This is a wonderful gift for any body that loves to cook. And even for someone who doesn't but loves to eat.
