The New Soul-Food Cookbook: Healthier Recipes for Traditional Favorites
tamajinn avatar reviewed on + 64 more book reviews


Since I am a vegetarian, there were many recipes I could not use in this book, but it does have an impressive assortment of healthier-style traditional foods. "A new tradition in soul food-- good cooking made better with less fat, cholesterol, sugar, and salt."
Sample menus:
Early Morning Feast:
Popovers
Baked Cheese Grits
Fried Yellow Squash with Zucchini
Spinach, Shrimp, and Eggs
Allspice Applesauce Cake

Sunday Dinner:
Sweet Potato Biscuits
Fried Green Tomatoes
Cucumber Salad
Smothered Chicken
Cream-Like Potatoes
Peach Cobbler
Jelly Cake

There is truly something in this book for everyone!
