Review: Good book! Many of the recipes are excellent a few are too bare to try. Format is endearing quick comments from members on the importance of the recipe in celebrations and thier life momments.
The Black Walnut Poundcake recipe has never let me down-Try it you will LOVE it!.

Summary: Cookbook is an Excellent Choice!
Review: I have had this cookbook for a few years now and I recommend to all my friends and family. I have even bought it as gifts too. I find the recipes to be very easy to follow and delicious. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to learn to cook soul food or advanced cooks!

Summary: A Great Mix
Review: I keep this book in my kitchen. I do so because I often use it for the biscuit recipe and also when I'm making out my food shopping list and I need ideas on what to cook. I also read this book while I'm in my kitchen "watching a pan". The stories in this book are most entertaining and help the time fly by. It's not the best soul food cookbook I've ever owned (that would be Patti Labelle's cookbook), but it is certainly in the top five. Especially for the new soul food cook, this book is a good investment.

Summary: WONDERFUL! Warmly written, with phenomenal recipes.
Review: I love this book, both for myself, and to give as gifts. It is every warmly written, and contains wonderful, easy-to-follow recipes. My favorite so far is the macaroni and cheese -- and a Weight Watchers friend who has also tried it says that it is easily adapted to low-fat/no-fat ingredients, and is still delicious. A real favorite; I can't imagine anyone not loving this book.

Summary: Excellent low-cost recipes that don't take forever!!
Review: I've owned this book for over five years, and it is best cookbook I own. Recipes are well-tested, don't cost very much to make, use readily available ingredients, and many are simple enough to make for weeknight suppers. I recommend the chicken gumbo, the Carter Hill barbeque ribs, the eggplant casserole, the yam pork chop skillet, the Jamaican bannana cake, and the honey crunch pecan pie. I recommend this cookbook as a gift for college students because the recipes are easy and delicious.
