Southern Heirloom Cooking (Paperback) by Haydel, Norma Jean McQueen & McQueen, Horace

Everyone who knows Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knows that she's a supreme cook, that she's the steward of the McQueen family recipes. But she didn't measure when she cooked. Or write things down.

Norma Jean's brother Horace got to worrying about this. He cooks, too, but his repertoire isn't as vast as Norma Jean's. So he began bothering her about writing down how she makes her many dishes. So the two got busy recording their traditional family recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes are their best ones.

Norma Jean and Horace have put together the full line-up: Crawfish Bisque, Poblano Cream Soup, Wilted Spinach Salad, Cajun Rice Jambalaya, Stuffed Cornbread, Margarita Pie, and many more.
