This cookbook, the first to be written and published by a black chef, includes a number of dishes from Estes' vast culinary collection.Commenting briefly on his Southern childhood and early years as a railway attendant, Estes goes on to offer simple instructions for preparing such standard fare as fried chicken, beef roast, and glazed carrots.
Nearly 600 recipes -- from haute cuisine to family-style meals -- are included.Sure to intrigue food enthusiasts and collectors of
