5.0 out of 5 stars Succulent Dishes, November 16, 2001

By A Customer

I love this book. I use it almost every week to prepare Sunday dinner. All the recipes are easy to follow and the dishes tastes just like mama's and grandma's soul food cooking.
You won't be disappointed with this book. It's a Godsend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written So Well You Can Smell It!, July 15, 2000

By	J Keistler "johnrktx@sbcglobal.net" (Lake Jackson, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I have one criterion that overrides all others when I get a new cookbook: does it make me want to get up and cook? This one did, in spades. I could hardly wait until the next morning to go shopping! Beautifully and clearly written, it will become a permanent part of my books.
