(More customer reviews)This isn't just a cookbook, it's a national treasure!Over the last few years I have purchased numerous cookbooks that center around Southern cooking or Soul Food.This one tops them all.From cover to cover it is a joy to read.The photographs are awesome.This book took a great deal of time to write.Perhaps 100 years.The recipes date back that long.It is a story of families, American families, that we all need to read, enjoy and praise.The recipes are wonderful, homey, comforting, easy to make.I LOVE this book!If you buy only one cookbook this year, Patty Pinner's book is THE one!Thank you Ms. Pinner for sharing your incredible family with the world.I am overwhelmed.

Product Description:
Growing up in a large African-American family in a small town in Michigan, Patty Pinner spent her childhood helping the women of the house--the Queens of Soul Food--whip up the sweet treats that crowned family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, and church socials. In SWEETS, Patty shares her family's stories, maxims, and magical desserts, many named after family members like Cud'n Daisy, Aint Sug, and My My, her beloved grandmother. Part recipe book, part family history, this sweet-as-can-be cookbook is a heartfelt tribute to women who ruled the home and the kitchen with their wisdom, hearts, and cooking.
