📖 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?v=ba-0922-0752 My name is Odessa Mae. You have carried a cake to the table that came out of the oven heavy as a brick, and nobody ever told you why. Child, I have done it too, and the woman who fixed it for me could not read a recipe to save her life. 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: ✓ Reading your own oven before you trust it ✓ Scraping the bowl down twice, with a real spoon ✓ Butter for the taste, shortening for the standing up ✓ Paint the baked shell with egg white while it is hot ✓ Taste it before it ever goes in the shell ✓ Bake a cobbler by the bubble, not by the brown ✓ Buttermilk and soda, working as a pair ✓ Ten minutes in the pan, then out 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
