Book Cover & Preview Text
“Soul food was originated back during slavery. The masters would give the undesirable parts of animals the scraps of vegetables' that the masters didn’t want like collard greens and kale. After awhile, certain recipes that were prepared often and cooking techniques had to be passed down orally because it was illegal in many states for slaves to learn to read or write. Many years later, the first known soul food cook was by Abby Fisher, entitled What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking and published in 1881”.

About the Book
My grandmother and her friends worked in the cafeteria at a local trade school. When they got together for their quilting circle, they would eat teacakes and talk about ideas and trade recipes to try out. They would try it out as a featured item at home and if it got good reviews then it stayed. My grand mother never wrote her recipes down, but she taught her daughters, how to cook who then shared the cooking experience with me. When I got old enough to reach the stove, they both helped cultivate my desire to stay a part of the kitchen. I in turn taught my kids and my granddaughter. I have decided to share these recipes with those who want them. This cookbook is for those who are craving the irresistible taste of Southern Cooking, but may not have the time to spend in the kitchen preparing the different meals.
