The book itself has GREAT recipes, however, the minute I opened the package, all the plastic binding comb fell apart and the pages went everywhere. I had to purchase another from an office supply store and put the whole thing back together.
I LOVE cookbooks with a story. This cookbook takes you right into a southern families kitchen...you can almost smell and taste the dish your reading about. Do try the Heritage recipes!!
The Famous Chicken and Dumplings were delicious!! and the Sweet Potato Nut bread...
I even brought Crisco shortening and oil back into my kitchen!!!
I have shared this book as a gift. 💕
This is my second copy and I really enjoy trying the recipes cooked in the traditional historic way of African American People.
I love looking up items to cook that I don't know how so that I can achieve that authentic taste.
I bought this book as a gift for my daughter-in-law who wanted that historical context in cooking.
