5.0 out of 5 stars Really Will Have You Cooking Like a Bahama Mama, July 22, 2010

The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef.

BAHAMA MAMA'S was one of the one's I kept because over the last couple years I've found myself going to it time and again. I make "Mama's Best Gingerbread" all the time. Like most of the recipes in this book, it's easy and impossible to screw up and it tastes delicious. For a quick and good gumbo I've done the "Crawfish Gumbo" on page 59 and like it a lot. True, I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet, but I don't always have the time to spend in the kitchen I'd like, so sometimes it's nice to have a recipe book on hand that you can count on for tasty and authentic meals.

I've served the "Stuffed Tomatoes" here so often that I know the recipe by heart and I've found they go very well with the "Whiskey Chicken" on page 105, which is just about my hubby's favorite meal. This is a terrific cookbook and I think you'll find if you use it for any length of time, you too will be cooking like a Bahama Mama.

Some of these recipes will make you a glutton. They were so good. I won't tell you which ones though. Get the book and try some for yourself.
