Review: I specifically searched for this book on Amazon after reviewing it in the library at the culinary school that I recently graduated from. I thought it would be a very useful cookbook to add to my collection and the heritage part was an added bonus. I had recently read an article on the author of the book in one of the military publications I picked up on Nellis Air Force Base and was thrilled to actually get to purchase the book. Although I’m southern born and bred there are some recipes in the book that I have never heard of in my life and I love having the history there to go with some of the recipes.I have this book in my collection. Some of the recipes are just fabulous.
I love making desserts a lot, and there are some wonderful, old southern style ones like bread pudding and banana pudding recipes that I just adore.
If you’re interested in cooking the old style southern way, this is the book to have on your shelf.
There are a lot of memoirs also that really take you back in time…good reading and good eating!This is not only a cookbook filled with good, heartwarming foods; but a history lesson of the rich heritage of African Americans and the Tuskegee Institute.The stories that go along with the recipes in this excellent book give you a look into a time and place in America that is vitally important to our American culture. The stories are entertaining and informative, while the recipes are authentic and tasty! You can’t go wrong with this book, there are recipes in this book that need to be preserved for history, before they fall from our memories.This book is so reminiscent of my childhood; it makes me tear up at times! Excellent recipes…
