📖 Get Mama Odessa's Complete Soul Food Kitchen Method, every recipe in Big Mama's kitchen written down and measured (106 recipes, 332 pages): https://mamaodessa.com My name is Odessa Mae. I have got a pot of rice on the back eye of this stove and my shoes off, and that is about all the cooking I have got in me tonight. Seventy-eight years old, and there are still evenings when my hands do not want that kitchen. In this video I walk you through every one of them, in the order I cook them, the way my mama and her mama did it. In this video: ✓ a fried bologna sandwich ✓ fried potatoes and onions with an egg laid on top ✓ sardines and saltines with onion and hot sauce ✓ hot water cornbread and pot likker ✓ stewed tomatoes and okra over rice ✓ a ground beef and rice skillet ✓ chicken livers with onion ✓ wieners and rice None of this was ever a secret. It just never made it onto a page, because the women who knew it were too busy cooking to write it down. Cook one of these tonight the way somebody showed you. Then tell me in the comments whose kitchen you learned it in, what county, and what it smelled like when it was right. I read every one of them. Stay close to the stove. And remember, the women who fed this country out of one pot knew things we are only just starting to remember. # SoulFood #SouthernCooking #BlackGrandmothers #MississippiDelta #CastIron #CheapMeals #OldWays #HomeCooking #OdessaMae
