IV. From the Comments

What folks say when this cooking comes back to them.

Left under the kitchen videos, quoted the way folks wrote them.

Things I saw grandma and great grandma do, I am now 70 and this brought so much back that forgotten.

YouTube comment · 40 Soul Food Cooking Tricks

My Grandma passed away when I was in college. When I started cooking real meals, memory took over. I've recreated many of Grandma's recipes and I utilize her techniques every day.

YouTube comment · 40 Soul Food Cooking Tricks

I remember my grandmother and my mother cooking just like that. I'm 64 years old now and both my grandmother and mom are gone. I cook the same way. So many memories came flowing back and they felt like home.

V. Where This Food Comes From

Born in the Delta. Raised on Sunday dinners.

I learned to cook on a kitchen chair beside my grandmother Cleo in Humphreys County, Mississippi. Sharecropper kitchen, wood-handled skillet, seven children and never quite enough to feed them. She made it taste like plenty anyway.

Fifty years I have cooked her way: the whole animal used, the pot stretched but never watered down, the cast iron handed on. The neighborhoods are mostly gone and the cooks who carried this are leaving us, so I wrote it down plain enough for my grandbabies and yours.

This is not fancy cooking. It is faithful cooking.

VII. Common Questions

Asked before the first pot goes on.

Is this just the videos written down? +
No. A video holds a handful of tricks. You get 152: the 46 techniques, 46 recipes measured out, all 60 recipes in Big Mama's Soul Food Kitchen, and the two kitchen guides. Most of it has never been in a video.
Are these real recipes with real measurements? +
Yes. My grandmother never measured a thing; I did it for you. Amounts, times, heat, and the signs to look for.
I have never cooked with cast iron. Can I start now? +
Start today. The first chapter takes a bare or rusty skillet to one that cooks like it has been in the family for years.
I'm on a fixed income. Is $37 really worth it? +
Look through the twelve real sample pages first. The $37 is one payment for 332 pages, 152 recipes and techniques, two guides, family sharing and future First Edition updates. If it is not useful to you within 7 days, you get every dollar back.
I'm not great with technology. Is it easy to use? +
Yes. You get an email with a download button. They open like a normal book on any phone or computer, and you can print the pages you cook from.
Can I share it with my children and grandchildren? +
Child, that is the whole point of it. The Kitchen comes with a Family Sharing License: send your copy to up to three family members, free. This food survived because somebody handed it down. Print the recipes, cook out of it together, and pass it on.
What if it's not for me? +
Email us within 7 days and we will refund the full $37.
