Below are notes from a few family recipes:

Deb’s Deep Dish Chocolate Pie (from soul food cookbook)
Recipe Note: This pie is my sister's signature dessert and is simply to die for! If you love chocolate, you're gonna love this pie. Make it and you'll "taste" why. Deb's Tip: For best results, make sure the eggs and butter are room temperature.

Emerson’s Fried Corn
Recipe Note: My stepfather Emerson used to make fried corn quite often. I remember he would pull up a stool to the stove as he prepared this dish. We couldn't wait for Emerson's fried corn. It was certainly a real treat for the entire family.

Big Mama’s Butter Roll (from soul food cookbook)
Recipe Note: A very old recipe Big Mama used to make when I was a young girl. Everyone raved about her homemade butter roll.

Apple Pie with Crumb Topping
Recipe Note: I remember my mother making this pie and letting it cool in the window seal. The aroma of cinnamon and brown sugar filled the house making it very hard to wait until it cooled down.

Country Banana Pudding (from soul food cookbook)
Recipe Note: This was my mother's original recipe from her personal collection. The custard for this pudding is outstanding and is best with pure vanilla extract. Great for any occasion.

FEATURED RECIPES FROM SOUL FOOD LOVERS' COOKBOOK
(soul food cookbook)

SOUTHERN PECAN PIE
Excerpt from Soul Food Lovers’ Cookbook
Copyright 2007, by Cassandra Harrell

½ cup Karo syrup, dark
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
3 eggs, room temperature
1 cup pecan halves
1 (9 inch) pie crust, unbaked

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together syrup, sugar and butter. Mix well, add eggs, and pecan halves. Mix well. Pour into pie crust and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool before cutting.

Recipe Note: When I was a teenager, this was the first pie I ever made. It’s a great recipe, not too sweet, and a real winner on taste. I still make this pie today. An old family favorite that has been in my family for over 50 years.

HOT WATER CORN BREAD (from soul food cookbook)
Excerpt from Soul Food Lovers’ Cookbook
Copyright 2007, by Cassandra Harrell

2 cups self-rising white or yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar, (optional)
1 1/2 cups hot water
Vegetable oil

Combine cornmeal, flour, egg, sugar and hot water in large bowl. Heat vegetable oil in skillet until hot. Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of cornmeal mixture for each bread patty in skillet.

Fry in hot oil over medium heat until light brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cool patties on paper towels. Yield: 8 to 10 bread patties

Recipe Note: Family Treasure Recipe: My grandmother taught me how to make this bread. Make sure the water is hot and not lukewarm--its makes better bread. If this is your first time making this recipe, use fresh vegetable oil.

SOULFUL POTATO SALAD (from soul food cookbook)
Excerpt from Soul Food Lovers’ Cookbook
Copyright 2007, by Cassandra Harrell

5 to 6 medium white potatoes
2 tablespoons vinegar
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 to 1 ½ cups mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 cup celery, chopped
½ cup onions, chopped
½ cup green peppers, chopped
1 cup sweet relish (more if desired)
3 hard-cooked eggs, cooled, peeled, and chopped
2 medium chopped red tomatoes, optional
Paprika

Wash and peel potatoes. Cube potatoes and place in medium pot of water and boil until fork tender. Drain with strainer well. Make sure all liquid is removed. In large bowl, combine potatoes, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix well; add celery, onion, green peppers, sweet relish, cooked eggs, and tomatoes. Mix well. Sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 5 to 7 cups.

Recipe Note: Family Treasure Recipe: My family’s favorite potato salad for Sunday dinner, cookouts, and family reunions. When I really want to dress it up, I add red tomatoes and sliced hard boiled eggs on top.
