Customer Reviews

EASY-TO-FOLLOW...even I was able to produce a 5-star menu!!!

This book is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their repertoire to one of the most accessible yet distinctive and richly flavorful cuisines. The author is a highly accomplished chef and writes in a lively and engaging manner. More importantly, the recipes are easy to follow. I was able to pick it up and put together a menu for guests that was a great success. Hurray! Also, another reviewer commented about the price. I think it's well worth the value. Most cookbooks are black and white and don't have pictures for everything. This one is beautiful to look at and you will really want to execute the dishes because you can see what the finished product looks like.

Exceptional cookbook for novices and beyond!

I am a novice who was given this book as a gift. I have to say, this book is perfect for beginners like me, as well as cooks that are more experienced. As someone who is intimidated by most cookbooks, I'll tell you why this book put me at ease: Beautiful color photography! I don't know why some cookbooks either have no pictures, or bad illustrations. I like seeing what my goal is. And frankly, the pics look so tasty, it was quite motivating. Short list of ingredients. This was key for making me feel like the brown sugar and pineapple glazed ribs are obtainable. Let me tell you, they SO are!! And, I didn't have to search high and low for the ingredients. Whole Paycheck had everything I needed. Anyway, this cookbook put me as ease, and the result has been several dinner parties where my friend's jaws clearly dropped below the dinner table. Thank you, Tanya Holland, for inspiring me to cook more, and taking my flavors to an entirely new level!!

FABULOUS

Brilliant, Beautiful and Bold. I know it sounds like a soap opera, but those are really the best words to describe Tanya's New Soul Cooking. It's a must - have for all food enthusiasts. Her passion is infectious--don't even attempt to read this book without a fully stocked pantry. You'll want to get cooking immediately!

Innovative and original

An exciting, intelligent, fresh and innovative book, which is long overdue. The recipes are easy to follow, wholesome and flavorful. Tanya Holland is a woman with vision, style and finesse. Kudos!!

This is not your grandmother's soul cooking. It's better!

Delicious, beautifully photographed, to die for food. This book raises the standard for soul food cooking to another level. Fine dining and comfort food have joined together in a marriage of gourmet love.
