Summary: Not a great cookbook
Review: I had such high hopes when I ordered this book (as an intended gift for my younger brother), however, I was very disappointed. I thought it would be similar to other children's cookbooks with colorful pictures and detailed explanations--it has neither. While the idea of this cookbook is definitely a good one, this presentation is awful. Additionally, the first "recipe" is for Kool-Aid which this book says is a good drink. Personally, I find Kool-Aid lacking in nutritional value. Also in the beverage section is a recipe for "Adult" eggnog which includes alcoholic beverages. I hardly think this is an appropriate recipe for a children's cookbook.

Summary: Not just for Children for Adults Too.
Review: I originally purchased the book to help me teach my daughter how to cook some of the foods of our culter. After browsing the book, I found a recipe for Teacakes. My grandmother used to bake teacakes and I love them. I tried the recipe and I loved them.And what I really liked was that they remained soft, which my grandmothers didn't. I have also tried the recipe for the dirty rice and found it to be really good. I've tried many of the recipes and they are all really good.

Summary: Not just for Children for Adults Too.
Review: This book contains hundreds of recipes that are presented in a simple manner that even a child can understand. But the food tastes far from simple -- it's excellent! Included are recipes for staples such as coleslaw and chocolate cake, as well as traditional African, Creole, and Caribbean recipes, and much more. This book is definitely a great find.

Summary: Soul Food Cooking Made Easy
Review: This cookbook is not just a kids cookbook. Furthermore, the recipes in this cookbook actually taste like real food. The instructions are easy to follow and easy to see. Perfect for talking on the phone or watching t.v. while you cook. The format of displaying the ingredients is excellent. I have taken this cookbook with me to the grocery store instead of making a list. The types of pots and pans and cooking utensils you need is also listed (just in case you don't have a super duper kitchen) This is a great cookbook for someone who does not know how to cook or needs a reference for some of their favorite recipes like mac and cheese, greens, etc. Recipes are for all meals. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Buttermilk biscuits, cracklin bread, spaghetti, real southern fried chicken, hush puppies, a must have for a good cookbook collection.
