Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Healthy Soul Food Cookbook: How to Cut the Fat but Keep the Flavor (Paperback)
The book begins with an insightful glimpse into the world of traditional "soul food": its origins and components. Wilbert Jones does a wonderful job of making simple adaptations to create healthy, extremely flavorful, and virtually fat-free recipes of my time-worn favorites. I was introduced to Jones' work in the form of the Black-Eyed Pea Veggie Burger...a flavorful alternative to fast-food albeit not as fast a meal as I initially estimated. Since that introduction, I have prepared his Skillet Corn Bread, Collard Greens, and Red Bean and Rice. Absolutely, positively delicious!!! Even my picky eaters had no problems with "Mom's experiments!!" My only criticism of this cookbook is that it is too short!! I look forward to more of Jones' work in the future!
