Yes. That old location was operating in the ‘80’s, also.
I never went to Silver Moon Cafe...did I miss out? I spent all my money at AM Mart and Jackie's Seafood...

Yes. You missed out on a fantastic experience. The plate lunches were unbelievably good and very cheap.

It just wasn't her real recipes...and weren't really full recipes at all.
yeah thats not much of a recipe , which is fine she obviously cooks by feel and instinct but that doesnt make for a very useful cookbook.

soul food is hard to replicate if you didnt grow up cooking it

Yikes...I can't imagine what the rest of the recipes will look like. I can probably guess what she did with all the ingredients that aren't mentioned in the steps, but I can only imagine how difficult it may be to follow some of the other recipes. Hope I'm wrong. Would love to have the recipes for myself.

For Mama's new cookbook, we have several professionals and LSU graduates, including myself - an LSU journalism graduate, a graphic designer, food stylist and food photographer, book editors and a major publisher working on this new cookbook. .

We are testing each recipe multiple times for accuracy and rewriting for Mama.


I hope the recipe in the letter (which I received today) is from the old book and not an example of a rewrite for the new book.
