Recipes for the Good Life

By Karen Hunter, Patti LaBelle, Judith Choate

Patti LaBelle discovered the good life and wants to share it with you--her new cookbook offers delicious recipes that range from healthy to decadent. "A lot of my memories with my loved ones are set around a dinner table, sharing a meal and sharing good conversation. Food has always been at the center of my joy, from the fish fries my parents had every weekend to the barbecues I have in my backyard today. Food can bring people together, to laugh, to eat, and to simply celebrate life. Most people know me for my voice, and that is truly a gift from God. But food and the ability to share it with others is also a gift--a gift that you can give to those you love. It is with that spirit that I share my third cookbook." Patti LaBelle Miss Patti is back, as fierce as ever, sharing more than 100 new recipes that will have your mouth watering and your guests begging for seconds! With dishes ranging from the Over the Top, Top, Top Macaroni and Cheese (with shrimp and lobster!), to the Poached Salmon with Basil Cream Sauce and Fettuccine, to the Tender and Juicy Barbecued Baby Back Ribs, to the Fried Apple Pie, there's something perfect for every occasion. She not only walks you through the preparation of her favorite dishes with ease, but also shares heartfelt and witty stories about food, family, and life throughout the book. Her first two cookbooks were hits and this one is sure to please as well.

Patti does it again!!!

I mean what can't Patti do!!! I had a feeling that she could cook. After all she's from the old school. And her knowing that we as a People have a tendency to get diabetes and high blood pressure, it was an awesome gesture of her to allow us into her kitchen. I love her wit in this book and more importantly, I love her ideas... Women like her only exist in dreams anymore...

Patti has done it again!!!

I have all of Patti's cookbooks and this one is by far the best! more recipes, easy to follow and and a variety of foods, not just soul food. I highly recommend this for everyone!!! I bought it for all of the women and men in my life as holiday gifts.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit, I really do not like cooking. However, I have purchased all of Patti's cookbook and this one is another WINNER. Patti took her time and provided recipes which are easy to prepare but excellent and healthy too eat. Thanks Patti, is will make a GREAT Christmas gift for my family members and friends.

Patti's Cooking Again

Recipes for the good Life is a winner , yes Ms. Patti knows how to put a book together and then wrap it up ina wonderful cover "herself" man the pages are great photos, and if you don't know how to cook some of us are can queens but like Patti says if you can read you can use her book, love in every page thier are lots of cookbooks out on the market but this one you can feel the love that she puts into her meals I love her "greens" I'm guilty of being one of the people that would over cook my greens becauses thats the way my mother and her mother before cooked , well now cooking them greens for 30 minutes to 45 minutes NOT all day you can taste the flavor more with the turkey wing much better than using pork "sorry mommy" but smoked turkey wings are much better and gives the greens that sick. \ Thanks one more time Patti now girl get that deal with them POTS AND PANS, more over Racheal Ray love your orange Pots but here comes Miss.Patti
