Description
📖 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-0922-1003
My name is Odessa Mae. My grandmother Cleo cooked rice two ways in the same kitchen, and only one of them was the way she meant it. For the house she worked in she boiled it hard in a big pot of water, poured it off, and dried it in a slow oven.
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:
✓ It starts before any fire gets lit, and this is the part folks skip
✓ So the fire
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.
