Stuff My Mama Taught Me

More than a cookbook, though for "down home" cooking it is a superb resource. Intermingled with the recipes are spoonfuls of Native American lore and literature as well as fun tales of Taylor's family. As a cookbook it succeeds in providing tasty recipes REAL people can use on a daily basis . . . without those surprise ingredients (peacock stock, porcupine pate, shallots, etc) no one apart from Emeril is likely to have on hand.
