Summary: African-American Heritage Cookbook
Review: This cookbook is chock full of old time recipes. There are wonderful pictures and pieces of history that are long forgotten and shouldn't be. It is great!!
I originally bought this for a co-worker and since buying the first one, I have been bombarded by others who have seen it. Each person wants one. It includes recipes that anyone who has ever had southern cooking will love! This makes a great gift.....for yourself and others.

Summary: Beautiful book but lacks descriptive intros for recipes
Review: This is a beautiful cookbook about recipes from an illustrious institution -- and the recipes look excellent. My one and only quibble is that there were no introductions preceding the recipes. IMHO, those make my other African-American cookbooks unbelievably special and priceless to me. However, to be fair, I'm neither southern nor African-American, so probably need the intros more than most people would. And the descriptions of Tuskeegee are wonderful; this is a lovely book -- it just didn't give me the warm fuzzies I usually get from African-American cookbooks.

Summary: A true taste of African-American History!
Review: When I saw this cookbook on the shelves I knew immediately it would become the centerpiece in my collection of cookbooks. I have tried several of the recipes, and found them all to be excellent. As a former student of Tuskegee Institute, I truly appreciate the historical referances found in the book. The African-American Heritage Cookbook has earned it's place as my personal favorite. Carolyn, thanks for the memories and the SOUL FOOD.
