Editorial Review:

Book DescriptionGrowing up as part of 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 sugar-filled treats that crowned family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, and church socials. In SWEETS, Patty mixes the down-home maxims and womanly advice shared at these chatty, gossip-filled baking marathons with recipes for her family's magical concoctions. The book includes more than 100 desserts, most shared by and named for family members ranging from Cud'n Daisy to Patty's beloved grandmother, My My. Soul food favorites such as Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Pone and Cud'n Eunice's Tea Cakes are featured alongside delights like Miss LaLou's Bourbon Balls, Down-Home Banana Ice Cream, and even Aint Laverta's Dr. Pepper Cake. Desserts shared in the company of a loving family are always the sweetest, and with SWEETS in hand you'll be able to share the comforts and confections of Patty's sugar kitchen with your loved ones.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Only cookbook I've ever read cover to cover!
Patty Pinner's childhood comes to life through her stories & recipes, and her "womanly" advice adds charm to her cakes and pies. I have to admit, this is the only cookbook that has found it's place on my bedside table because of the great stories and old family photographs.
