Ninety-four years ago Rosie Lee Edwards-Walker was born in Cotton Valley, Louisiana on Old Man Hayes Plantation. Her parents were sharecroppers and the only way you would get a meal you had to plant it, pick it, fetch it, or go into the woods and shoot it. Living on a farm Mom learned her survival skills at a very young age. Even though she was 9 years old, when food was needed on the table she could go into the woods with her older brothers, out-hunt and out-shoot them. They were older enough to be her father. She was a surprise baby born 19 years after her parent's first child. Despite her challenging upbringing, she was the best Mom ever to her 5 daughters. She was sweet, the most free-hearted person who would give anyone her last nickel, could read a person to a 'T' at first glance and was as funny as Richard Pryor except Mama did not curse. She was only 5 feet tall, however if you tried to harm her, her children or her family she would have made Tyler Perry's Madea look like a Nun. She has been a big influence in our life, a mentor and a friend. Mom is our 'she-ro.'
This cookbook is not only filled with traditional southern recipes, many are my Louisiana mother Mrs. Rosie Lee Walker's, born 1920, and other family members. All the recipes will make your mouth water. It is a cookbook for both the new cook who is just starting a family and for a seasoned cook looking for a different delicious recipe. You will also find instructions on how to set a table, fasting suggestions and helpful information on certain spices. These are just a few references included in this cookbook that is unique. Eating healthy these days can be flavorful and in this cookbook Ethel Mae Lewis has proven it. The spices and mouth watering ingredients used in recipes in this book will have your family and friends asking for seconds! Having southern roots, it was common for us to cook good flavored food. Salads are healthy but we made sure they were tasty. Desserts were a staple in our house growing up right along with biscuits and grits. I am so grateful to Mom, she has instilled so much in me and my sisters. I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as I enjoy sharing them. I Love You Mom, Ethel Mae Lewis
