Customer Reviews

my favorite cookbook!!!!

This is the best cookbook!!! I bought it for my mom and then ended up borrowing it so much I had to buy my own! The recipes are incredible!! I have not found a bad one yet. Mac & Cheese is amazing!!

I love it, I love it, I love it

The Black Family Reunion Cookbook came just in time for my own family reunion this past weekend - July 4, 2005. It's an excellent choice for newcomers or oldheads like myself. It takes you back to the good days when your mother was in the kitchen whipping up a delicious peach cobbler or some tasty macaroni and cheese. I just loved this! Every single recipe took me back to my youth. It was funny running across dishes that I had forgotten about. Whether you're African American or Hispanic, you will love this cookbook!! Highly recommended to the world of book lovers Rolanda, Nothing BUT Page Turners Book Club

Excellent low-cost recipes that don't take forever!!

I've owned this book for over five years, and it is best cookbook I own. Recipes are well-tested, don't cost very much to make, use readily available ingredients, and many are simple enough to make for weeknight suppers. I recommend the chicken gumbo, the Carter Hill barbeque ribs, the eggplant casserole, the yam pork chop skillet, the Jamaican bannana cake, and the honey crunch pecan pie. I recommend this cookbook as a gift for college students because the recipes are easy and delicious.

I Love This CookBook!

I've had this book for several years now and I it is one of my favorites. Since I started making the Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe, it is expected that I make it for every family gathering, which is great because it is so easy to make and so delicious!

An excellent choice for beginners as well as the advanced.

The Black Family Reunion Cookbook is an excellent choice for a beginner or for the advanced cook. This book gives you the basic foundation for many traditional recepies but it allows you room to improvise. This book brings back many memories of my mom in the kitchen making all of the foods that I grew up on. This will be one of the items that will be handed down to my daughters.
