This is a storytelling cookbook featuring time-honored recipes handed by four generations of New Orleans cooks. What's unique about the book is the approach - a combination of African-American tradition, New Orleans culture and skilled culinary expertise. The stories are told by a young African-American woman, from North Carolina, who spent her summers in her grandma's kitchen in New Orleans. The book is a zesty combination of family recipes, Creole culture, technical expertise, and entertaining stories beneficial for both the novice and the skilled chef alike.

Great Recipes!!! Great Stories !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grandma's Hands: The Heart and Soul of New Orleans Cooking (Hardcover)
The recipes in this book are GREAT and very easy to follow. It is a MUST for anyone's Cookbook Library. My recommendations are the Smothered chicken, Linda's Little Old Lady Pound Cake, and Barbeque Shrimp recipes. You can't go wrong with any of them.As a bonus, Ms. Guion adds a personal touch by talking about her life and family. I recommend Grandma's Hands to EVERYONE. It makes a GREAT gift.

Ethnically delicious,

This review is from: Grandma's Hands: The Heart and Soul of New Orleans Cooking (Hardcover)
This book is "phat". I have devoured its content as I would a bowl of hot New Orleans gumbo. The flavor of the stories are just as tentillating and appetizing as the authentic recipes. A must have for anyone who's been to New Orleans and loves the food.
