From Publishers Weekly
What might have been an engaging blend of Studs Terkel-like oral history and Jeff Smith-like frugal cookery is instead a pastiche of familiar folk wisdom and uneven recipes that is closer kin to community church cooking than to full-blown culinary exploration. Many of the recipes collected here do convey a sense of the breadth of influences on African-American fare, especially evident in such dishes as curried goat, okra gumbo and stewed turkey necks. These also suggest a driving force behind the heritage--"to cook things that were sustenance and economical" and "to use everything." But many of the 11 cooks who reminisce and provide edibles are oddly unrevealing in their talk--"Life was hard, but I would say I had a really nice childhood"--and give us relatively little insight into their food traditions. Recipes of "authentic" dishes are undermined by such requirements as packaged cornbread mix. An introduction might have given the book a clearer focus; we leave it wanting more.

From Library Journal
Pinderhughes, a New York photographer, has collected recipes and memories from a dozen of his relatives and friends, who include Leah Chase, chef and author of The Dooky Chase Cookbook ( LJ 8/90) and Verta Mae Smart-Grosvenor, author of Vibration Cooking (Ballantine, 1986). But the contributions from these two women are among the more interesting in this undertaking; many of the dishes are standard Southern home cooking, and the recollections of most of the other contributors are just too personal to be of wide interest.
