Stuff My Mama Taught Me [Paperback]

Dawn Taylor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2003

More than a cookbook, though for "down home" cooking it is a superb resource. Intermingled with the recipes are spoonfuls of Native American lore and literature as well as fun tales of Taylor's family. As a cookbook it succeeds in providing tasty recipes REAL people can use on a daily basis . . . without those surprise ingredients (peacock stock, porcupine pate, shallots, etc) no one apart from Emeril is likely to have on hand.

This book is a fun collection of 'exotic' southern recipes with great stories of the south thrown in for entertainment. Keep it handy the next time you need to make rattlesnake stew - or beef stew for that matter!
Fried green tomatoes and chicken and dumplings - whatever... You'll love this cookbook and use it frequently! Enjoy...

This book will give you some social history along with some very unusual recipes one of which is rattle snake stew. It's like no other cookbook you'll ever get and well worth having.
