Product Description
“Soul food is just what the name implies. It is soulfully cooked food . . . good for your ever-loving soul . . . the shur-‘nuf kinda down-home cookin’ that I grew up on,” writes Sheila Ferguson. Abundant in flavor and variety—ranging from classics such as barbecued spare ribs, fried chicken, cornbread, and collard greens to less well known but equally sumptuous recipes such as sweet potato biscuits, grits souffle, and wild fox grape wine—soul food is a truly American cuisine, originated in the deep South by slaves and later shaped and expanded by the rich diversity of African-American culture.

 Great Down Home Style Recipes May 18, 2008
I am a mom of a large family, and I love this cookbook.The recipes are **great**,I also like the stories (and the history of some of the dishes) that come with the recipes.These are Down Home Style recipes that use things we have on hand in our kitchens and pantries.All the recipes I have tried in this book have turned out well, and my family loved them.GREAT Southern Soul Food Cookbook.My Grandma taught me how to cook and some of these remind me of her recipes (of course none were ever wrote down, she knew what to put in them though, and how much). Enjoy!!
Fantastic Cookbook! December 13, 2007
I use this book all the time. The author infuses authentic soul food recipes with tales of her and our rich cultural heritage. From sumptuous buttermilk biscuits to delicious sweet potatoe pie, the recipes are easy to follow. Every recipe I've made in this book has turned out delicious. This is also a great gift for newlyweds.

This book was full of food that if you eat on a regular will probable cause heart problems, high blood pressure and high colestoral. Let find a better way to eat black people.We are not slaves any more we have options.

A delightful book full of delicious recipes with clear instructions, family histories and a whole new vocabulary of odd expressions and descriptions of food. I also bought the more famous "Sylvia's Family Soul Food Cookbook" (Sylvia has a famous restaurant in New York), but I actually prefer this one slightly more, although both are absolutely wonderful. Sylvia's book is larger, more colourful and has more photos than this unassuming book by Sheila Ferguson, but the recipes for both books are just as mouth-watering; Sheila's book has a delicious recipe for "Red Devil's Food Cake" and Sylvia has a similar one called "Red Velvet Cake", for example. It's just that "Soul Food" by Ms. Ferguson has a few more unusual and unknown recipes in it, like her recipe for "Fergy's Fried Chicken". Most of the recipes look delicious and it all depends on the skill of the cook attempting these gems I guess, but I think both books are great references on this style of cooking and both are equally perfect. I would just be more likely to give Sylvia's cookbook as a gift because it is more elegant and I'd probably keep "Soul Food" for myself. No, come to think of it, I'd keep both.
