Big Mama's Country Cookbook - Paperback

by G. Brent Darnell (Author)

This book is so much more than a collection of recipes. It's a collection of memories, the snapshot of a lifestyle and the history of an entire family portrayed through the love and enjoyment of "down-home" Southern cooking. Brent was born and raised in the Deep South--Mobile, Alabama to be exact. Understanding the culture of this Southern community is key to appreciating the pages and pages of recipes that follow. In Brent's words, "Mobile is a place where people have names like Bubba, Shirley Boy, Booger Red, Cotton, Snort, Bubby and Aunt Vila (pronounced Aint Vila). People live in shotgun houses and "set" on front porches."
