Soul Food Advisor: Recipes and Tips for Authentic Southern CookingCassandra Harrell remembers watching her grandmother, Big Mama, fry hot water corn bread in a well seasoned cast iron skillet on her electric stove. Only four years old, Harrell had to crawl onto a kitchen chair to see the yellow cornmeal batter skillfully dropped into sizzling oil. Once fried to a golden brown, the bread was served with one of Big Mama's many delicious meals like a plate of turnip greens and smoked meat or a bowl of beef stew.

Cassandra Harrell remembers watching her grandmother, Big Mama, fry hot-water corn bread in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet on her electric stove. Only four years old, Harrell had to crawl onto a kitchen chair to see the yellow cornmeal batter skillfully dropped into sizzling oil. Once fried to a golden brown, the bread was served with one of Big Mama's many delicious meals like a plate of turnip greens and smoked meat or a bowl of beef stew. Growing up in a small, close-knit community in southwest Tennessee, Harrell received a culinary education from her family, learning her trade by example: she listened to her mother and grandmother and watched them in the kitchen as they cooked tomatoes, onions, and cabbage they gathered from the family's large backyard garden. Over the next forty years, Harrell honed her appreciation of good food through cooking, both at home and as a professional caterer.


Soul Food Advisor shares more than 150 of Harrell's personal and family recipes--from Big Mama's Neck Bone Soup to Harrell's own low-cholesterol, low-sodium Country Black-eyed Peas and Okra. Recipes range from modern favorites like hush puppies, barbecue, and Tennessee-style coleslaw, to lesser-known dishes such as hoecakes, mayonnaise drop rolls, jelly cake, and a whole chicken baked on top of cornbread dressing. In addition to delicious recipes, Harrell includes snippets of southern food history, personal memories from the kitchen, and time-tested cooking tips.

Both home and professional cooks, as well as food historians, will embrace Harrell's celebration of soul food as she recounts its authentic recipes, iconic dishes, and irresistible flavors. From the home kitchens that perfected this family-centered cuisine, Soul Food Advisor reveals the secrets of southern cooking, one dish at a time.

Work perfectly- keys, watch, wallet and colognes, etc
Color: Black
For the price- this thing is beautiful. It is high quality- and appears higher quality than the price would make it seem. I originally purchased one that "appeared" to be wood (same design) but ended up being cheap injection molded looking plastic. There is absolutely no assembly- so just pull it out of the box, and fill it up. Has space for wallet and keys, and small objects. Little drawers are lined and high quality as well. Great side piece if you are a fragrance collector. If not, there is plenty of space for the normal guys colognes- with room left over for anything else you would put on a 2" shelf. Stop reading and add it to your cart already.
