30 Soul Food Desserts Under $5 That We Have Forgotten

📖 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. Freda DeKnight went around this country in the nineteen forties with a notebook, knocking on the doors of Black women and writing down what they really cooked, and the pages I keep going back to are the sweets, dessert after dessert a woman could set on her table for pocket change. 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: ✓ Sugar toast ✓ Popcorn balls ✓ Sweet potato candy ✓ Chess pie ✓ Chocolate gravy ✓ Watermelon rind preserves ✓ Hot water gingerbread ✓ Bread pudding 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
