AUNT HATTIE'S COOKBOOK: Southern Comfort Food Favorites
by Hattie Washington
Dr. Washington’s love for cooking started at an early age. Growing up in a traditional southern cooks family, she was taught by her stepmother and other relatives the key steps into making a dish from scratch. She shares her succulent, mouth-watering recipes from her own personal collections that have been cooked and enjoyed well over five decades.
Whether you are an experienced cook or a novice, don’t worry. She walks you through how to cook such memorable dishes as her fried apples, homemade hot buttermilk biscuits dripping with her melted honey butter sauce, and her golden-brown fried chicken. Additionally, she shares her mouth-watering desserts, such as blackberry cobbler, peach cobbler, apple pie, sweet potato pie, her stepmother’s old-fashioned traditional Christmas fruitcake, and her signature bread pudding.
Dr. Washington, affectionately called “Aunt Hattie” by her foster sons of Aunt Hattie’s Place, loves the opportunity to share not only her favorite recipes but those of friends and family. Thus, she includes a section in her cookbook called Beyond, which consists of other favorite recipes from family members, friends, and living abroad in Greece and Scotland. Additionally, her Resource Directory is a treasure chest, jammed packed with valuable information, articles, ingredient substitutions, and website links on healthy eating.
This beautiful cookbook is bound to be passed down for generations. It’s a go-to reference for recipes that feature wholesome ingredients and down-home cooking techniques that will enthuse cooks seeking a traditional approach to preparing beloved southern comfort food favorites. She wants her readers to enjoy these southern cuisine dishes of yesteryear when cooking country southern comfort food meant “healthy eating.”
Most veggies, fruits, and meat were fresh from the fields, trees, bushes, grass-fed animals, organic, natural, preservative-free products, and other terms people hear nowadays when society is challenged to eat healthily. Do not miss this chance to own this labor-of-love cookbook that will become a welcomed addition to your culinary treasure chest. Prepare to feel the love as you embark on cooking her mouth-watering collection of recipes. Enjoy!
