Negative Positive
Title: Mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm .....
Review: Of the two Sylvia's books, this is definitely the prize. Sylvia collects recipes from friends, family and neighbors, and writes nostalgically about picnics, church events and fun serving soul food.Sylvia founded a wonderful restaurant business in Harlem, NY and in Atlanta, Georgia. She reveals some of her secrets to soul food here. But the recipes are deceptively simple and unless you grew up on great soul food (I did not) you might have trouble to reproduce the complexity of flavor. Like Cajun cooking, soul food seems to be based on experience and a honed sense of taste for seasonings that defies documentation.But you can try, and this is a fine book for recipes, especially for chicken and for vegetables like limas and greens. Mmmmmmm.
