About this product

Product Information

Sylvia's Family Soul Food Cookbook begins as Sylvia recalls her childhood, when she lived with both her mother and her grandmother -- the town's only midwives. The entire community of Hemingway, South Carolina, shared responsibilities, helped raise all of the children, and worked side by side together every day in the bean fields. Perhaps most important, the community shared its food and recipes. When Sylvia set out to write this cookbook, she decided to hold a cook-off back home in Hemingway at Jeremiah Church. Family and friends of all ages shared their favorite dishes as well as their spirit and love for one another. The recipes offered at the cook-off were then compiled to create this incredible collection, along with many of Sylvia's and the Woods family's own recipes. Here are the kinds of recipes you'd find if you visited the Woods family's home. Sylvia's daughter Bedelia is well known for her Barbecued Beef Short Ribs, which are as sassy and spicy as Bedelia herself. Kenneth, Sylvia's youngest son, has loved to fish ever since he was a child, spending his summers by the fishing hole in Hemingway. Now Kenneth's son, DeSean, enjoys fishing, too. Kenneth's Honey Lemon Tilefish, DeSean's favorite, is just one of Kenneth's special recipes presented here. And there are many, many other wonderful dishes, too. In this remarkable cookbook, Sylvia has gathered more than 125 soul food classics, including mouthwatering recipes for okra, collard greens, Southern-style pound cakes, hearty meat and seafood stews and casseroles, salads, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and more. These recipes are straight from the heart of the Woods community of family and friends. Now Sylvia gives them to you to share with your loved ones. Bring them into your home and experience a little bit of Hemingway's soul.

Title says it all
Purchased this cookbook for each one of my adult children. Own a copy for 14 years Recipes are very good and nothing is left out. An excellent cookbook that was written from the heart. She will always be with us through her determination and delicious recipes. From one Southern Lady to another

I was quite disappointed
There are only 124 recipes as I went through each page and count them. It does have interesting family stories in the cookbook. However, since I already have the Silvia Soul Food Cookbook, I did not get too much more soul food recipes.

Great family values
This is my second copy because my first copy got damaged. Love the recipes, southern cooking style. Actually I can't think of anything bad. Got the book early then expected and love it.

Sylvia' Family Soul Food Cookbookk
I had heard about this cookbook and the restaurant previously and was happy to see this cookbook on ebay for a good price. The book is as much an autobiography as it is a cookbook, and stories of her extended family are featured prominently with the recipes. Lots of photographs (I am one of those people who like to see what the person I am reading about looks like!) and a good "down home" old fashioned feel to the whole book. Very enjoyable reading, the story is just as much fun as the recipes, so I do recommend this to all.
