Mama Dip's Kitchen

The Best of the best - this cookbook has true old-time southern recipes with easy to follow instructions. This lady cooks exactly like my Alabama grandmothers - deliciously!

A Real Cookbook at Last

I first saw Mama Dip on the Food Network. I immediately went online to find the cookbook that was mentioned. I now have a book of recipes and techniques that I can leave for my children when I am gone. I was afraid that I would have to write down my techniques etc. but she did it for me. What a wonderful read the book is also. I can hardly wait for her to find time to put another collection together. What a wonderful woman.

Come Home to REAL Cooking!

I watch the Food Network a lot; this book is the antithesis of that. No weird names; no combining ingredients that weren't meant to be together. The opposite of chi-chi. Just good, comfortable food that'll sit well on your stomach and you'll get a decent portion besides! Restaurants like Mama Dip's are always popular wherever they are. You'd think the big corporations would learn that...

Southern Cooking at it's finest!

I bought this book for my wife whose been looking for a cobbler receipe. Not only did this give us an excellent cobbler but fantastic receipes for all sorts of southern dishes. My wife is not originally from the South and wanted the "secrets" to good southern cooking. Mama Dip has provided her with some of these secrets. In addition to the receipies, the story of Mama Dip's life was inspiring. It gives us a glimpse into the life of a poor southern family. The book is worth buying for this story alone.I'm anxiously awaiting additional titles from her!
