What Our Readers Are Saying...

"I liked the pictures, the description, and being raised in the Southern part of the United States it hit home for me easily. I introduced this to my grandkids, and they laughed. If you were raised in your grandmother's kitchen and you're from the South, this will bring back memories. I highly recommend this book."

- GG

"I originally bought this book to share with my students. My grandson was over when it arrived so we read it together (I tried so hard not to sing it, but failed miserably). We had a wonderful time talking about the foods we liked, the ones we didn't and how long it would take the grandchildren to eat everything. I would definitely recommend this book to others."

- M. Brown

"This is so cute!!  For those of you who were raised in a closely knitted family in the Black community, and had a big mama, mawmaw or momo (whatever you called her), this hits home. It brings back memories and reminds you of some of the "traditional" cuisines that were common during family gatherings. I love this book. Make it part of your family's Christmas tradition."

- Glenda G. Brown
