LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About

Everything

Awesome book

I recommend this book to everyone. The gumbo is delicious!

This book will be part of my cookbook collection.

I love this book, the recipes are great, the stories are even better.

I love this cookbook!

I bought this book off of Amazon, never having seen it in the stores. What a pleasant surprise! I'd expected another book of soul-food, Southern cooking (which is what I was looking for). Ms. LaBelle's book has plenty of down-home-type recipies familiar to those of us in the South, such as her pot roast and her Southern fried chicken, but also has recipes that reflect a wider, more modern cooking trend, such as Caribbean fish steaks and shrimp fried rice. Her Macaroni and Cheese recipe is to die for!Unlike so many other 'celebrity' cookbooks, the recipes here are well-written and easy to follow. I've cooked a couple of dozen recipes here, and all have worked as published.This cookbook can be a terrific introduction to Southern cooking as well as an illustrated biography of its author. I've been a fan of LaBelle for many years and was delighted to read her autobiographical segments. This book is a great blend of cookbook and memoirs, and can be enjoyable even if only for reading!

How can you say anything bad about the Queen of Rock & Soul? Great easy recipes and if you follow the guidelines of Patti, you will have some finger licking good delights! Happy cooking!

Great stories that go with the dishes on how some were named and taste great

I thought this book have lots of good recipes. boy I was wrong! lots of unnecessary stuff than recipes.I buy cook books for there recipes not for family stories.

Awesome easy to follow recipes
