[.ca] The African-American Child's Heritage Cookbook (ISBN 0962775622)

THE SOURCE for Traditional African-American Recipes:
This book contains hundreds of recipes that are presented in a simple manner that even a child can understand. But the food tastes far from simple -- it's excellent! Included are recipes for staples such as coleslaw and chocolate cake, as well as traditional African, Creole, and Caribbean recipes, and much more. This book is definitely a great find.

Soul Food Cooking Made Easy:
This cookbook is not just a kids cookbook. Furthermore, the recipes in this cookbook actually taste like real food. The instructions are easy to follow and easy to see. Perfect for talking on the phone or watching t.v. while you cook. The format of displaying the ingredients is excellent. I have taken this cookbook with me to the grocery store instead of making a list. The types of pots and pans and cooking utensils you need is also listed (just in case you don't have a super duper kitchen) This is a great cookbook for someone who does not know how to cook or needs a reference for some of their favorite recipes like mac and cheese, greens, etc. Recipes are for all meals. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Buttermilk biscuits, cracklin bread, spaghetti, real southern fried chicken, hush puppies, a must have for a good cookbook collection.

Not just for Children for Adults Too.:
I originally purchased the book to help me teach my daughter how to cook some of the foods of our culter. After browsing the book, I found a recipe for Teacakes. My grandmother used to bake teacakes and I love them. I tried the recipe and I loved them.And what I really liked was that they remained soft, which my grandmothers didn't. I have also tried the recipe for the dirty rice and found it to be really good. I've tried many of the recipes and they are all really good.

Find that family recipe you've been looking for:
The best thing about this book is that the recipes are simple so that children can use them and I have been able to find recipes that I had trouble finding elsewhere!

Enjoyable & educational.Good family project.:
Parham has taken her experiences as a Tuskegee University student and developed them into an opportunity to share and educate others about the rich experiences of her people through food and heritage.
