Description:

In this much-anticipated follow-up to her bestselling Mama Dip's Kitchen, Mildred "Mama Dip" Council serves up an abundance of new recipes for home-style Southern cooking that is sure to please. From catfish gumbo to breakfast pizza and peach upside-down cake, Mama Dip's Family Cookbook offers recipes for more than three hundred dishes, including many Council family favorites. Also featured are party and celebration foods for family and community gatherings--a reflection of Council's belief that friends and family are essential to a rewarding life. To help novice cooks, Council includes basic information about staple ingredients, kitchen utensils, and important measurements, as well as diagrams for setting up a buffet.

In a charming introductory essay, Council intertwines food-related reminiscences of her rural North Carolina upbringing with a wry recounting of her experiences since the remarkable success of her first book. With this book she passes along to new generations the practical advice and wisdom that have made her a treasure to her family and her community.

5mama dip's second amazing cookbook  Oct 21, 2005
By Traci Watson "'a bit of a book snob"
this second cookbook is just as wonderful as the first. i am a fan and even had the opportunity to eat in her wonderful restaurant and meet this gifted cook. the recipes are simple and delicious. my entire family loves each one (my kids are 9 and 5, so that really says something). i believe this one will become as stained and dog-eared as the first. enjoy!

5Mmmm-Mmmm good!  Jan 12, 2008
By J. Presnell
Just can't say enough about Mama Dips cook books. If you buy one you should buy the other ( Mama Dips kitchen.)I am a misplaced southern girl, living in the mid-west, and you don't find much soul food in our parts. She has all the recipes I grew up on with my grandma's good ole southern food. Lots of the things I had stored in my memory bank, but there were so many more. I am so glad I found these two books! Believe me you will be also!
