Soul Food Cookbook
August 14th, 2008
You’ve always wanted to cook like your Grandmother. Or at least your Auntie. Fine. You’ll settle for G. Garvin. After all, we get tired of going to the closest soul food spot and waiting (for hours, it always seems) for food that once we eat, we feel bad paying for. Because really, how hard can it be to fry chicken and bake macaroni and cheese? Right? Well, wrong. There is something about wisdom that makes soul food Sunday-dinner worthy, and until now, we’ve had trouble recreating the authenticity in our own kitchens. Then we found this website. And like most really good soul food restaurants, it looks a little suspect, but the food is good. Fabulously good. Eat alone in your kitchen and make all the “I’m so happy to be eating this” noises you want to make good. Let us forewarn you that health is not the first or second, or, to be honest, last concern for this online cookbook. But ‘Granny’s Fried Corn’ didn’t ask to be your get-fit friend, and neither did ‘Cynthia’s Screaming Hot Spicy Fried Chicken’ or ‘Kenya’s Mississippi Peach Cobbler”. Shame, because your stomach sure will ask to be theirs. Soul Food Cookbook (photo).
