Book Review: Soul Food Lovers’ Cookbook by Cassandra & Earl Harrell
This cute little spiral-bound cookbook is the perfect accompaniment to include with a recipe from it lovingly prepared; perhaps tucked into a gift basket. Sadly, I’m definitely NOT going to be sharing the Country Banana Pudding. Why? Because there’s nothing left to share – we ate it all! You either like Banana Pudding or hate it, but the Harrell’s cookbook would sway anyone’s nay vote. It was delicious. But let’s move from the desserts category to the Main Dish section: The Gumbo Chicken Wings were very good and so were the Smothered Pork Chops. Don’t get me started on the Breads & Rolls section.
In the beginning of the book there is a “Brief History of Soul Food” page and although interesting, the picture on the cover is truly what prompted me to accept this review as well as prepare a few recipes for my family who really enjoyed them. There are helpful hints at the beginning of each of the eight chapters. I own and have read other soul food cookbooks – Soul Food Lover’s Cookbook is at the top of the list.
It’s a gem to either receive as a gift or to add to your cookbook collection. Have you ever heard of Chocolate Carrot Cake? Neither have we – looks like I’m baking this weekend.
Happy cooking!
