Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre, at best
Review: I love and collect soul food cookbooks, as well as church community cookbooks. However, what I most love about them is the warmth of why the people and recipes are so special. I COULDN'T FIND ONE SUCH WORD HERE! There is much more warmth and personality in a Betty Crocker book. I strongly recommend that you seek out cookbooks by Norma Jean and Carole Darden, Sylvia Woods, Joyce White, Patti LaBelle, and other wonderful soul food authors who take the time to tell you WHY each of their recipes are so special. The Harlem Abyssisian Baptist Church cookbook also does this ... only this one is sterile and lacking, so I definitely can't recommend it. What a waste!
