Delilah's Everyday Soul: Southern Cooking with Style Book

Tradition meets the 21st century in this hip and colorful cookbook that shows that Soul Food doesn’t have to be “country food.”

Library Journal

Winder has always loved to cook, and in 1984, she left the business world to open a stand called Delilah's Southern Cuisine in Philadelphia's famous Reading Terminal Market. Today, she has five other food stands and a popular soul food/Latin/Caribbean restaurant called Bluezette; she gained national attention in 2003 when Oprah chose her recipe as the best macaroni and cheese. In her first book, Winder offers her favorite recipes, along with stories and reminiscences, many of them about her Southern grandparents and the summers she spent with them. Recipes are grouped into such chapters as "Cooking for Friends" and "Bountiful Seasons." Winder has a warm, engaging style, and her appealing cookbook is recommended for most collections.
