| 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. "I
didn't want Norma Jean's recipes, or our Mama's recipes, to be lost.
We have kids coming. And other folks love to eat at my sister's table,
too." So the two of them got busy recording their treasured family
recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes are
their best ones. "This is food you will absolutely enjoy," says
Horace. "Traditional, full of marvelous flavor, 'enhanced' with old-
timeys!" Norma Jean and Horace have put together the full line-up:
Crawfish Bisque, Poblano Cream Soup, Wilted Spinach Salad, Smothered
Pork Ribs, Zesty Broasted Chicken, Baked Catfish, Cajun Rich Jambalaya,
Stuffed Cornbread, Five-Flavor pound cake, Margarita Pie, and on and
one. Copyright 2001. | |
