Summary: THANK YOU MISS PATTI !!!
Comment: I finally broke down and got this book, after repeatedly hearing everybody talk about how great the recipies were. THEY DIDN'T LIE!! In commemoration of Black History Month, I decided to throw a Sunday dinner, inviting my mom, grandmother and other family members over. I can cook, but never cooked a Soul Food Dinner. Needless to say, the invitees were skeptical, but supportive. I made the Over the Rainbow Mac & Cheese, Screamin' Mean Greens, Sumptous & Simple Fried Chicken, and for dessert, Norma's Black Bottom Sweet Potato Pie. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT GREAT!! My Grandmother & Mama were so proud. The only thing left was one chicken wing, and that was because everyone was too full and too ashamed to take it!!! I am now going to order Patti's "Lite" cooking book, because if I continue to cook and eat like this, I ain't gonna make it!! This is the only cook book I ever bought that works!! I recommend this book to everyone!!

Summary: Already tattered and torn, a sign of a truly good cookbook.
Comment: As the southern daughter of the one southern woman that doesn't cook, I always felt challenged in the area of true southern soul food cooking. I picked this cookbook up after seeing Patti LaBelle on Oprah making some of the foods that I remembered my aunts and grandmother cooking in my childhood.
The recipes are surprisingly very easy and with a family of 6 (including teenaged boys) I appreciated the more than generous portions the author cooks with. Interspersed with each recipe is an anecdote from Ms. LaBelle's life, either on or offstage, you get the true feeling of how she loves her family and shows that through her cooking. This is comfort food at it's very best.
The cookbook is battered and dusty with flour, which to me is a sign of greatness in a cookbook-one that you turn to again and again.

Summary: Wonderful
Comment: Not much to say except that I don't regret purchasing this book. Even though every recipe is not great, overall the majority are either okay or really great. I do a lot of cooking and this book helps with my life and helps make my family a lot happier.
