For nearly twenty-five years, Mildred Council—better known by her nickname, Mama Dip—has nourished thousands of hungry folks in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Her restaurant, Mama Dip's Kitchen, is a much-loved community institution that has gained loyal fans and customers from all walks of life, from New York Times food writer Craig Claiborne to former Tar Heel basketball player Michael Jordan.

Mama Dip's Kitchen showcases the same down-home, wholesome, everyday Southern cooking for which its namesake restaurant is celebrated. The book features more than 250 recipes for such favorites as old-fashioned chicken pie, country-style pork chops, sweet potatoes, fresh corn casserole, poundcake, and banana pudding. Chapters cover breads and breakfast dishes; poultry, fish, and seafood; beef, pork, and lamb; vegetables and salads; and desserts, beverages, and party dishes.

The book opens with a charming introductory essay, a savory reflection on a life in cooking that also reveals the story behind Council's nickname. It is both a graceful reminiscence of a country childhood and the inspiring story of a woman determined to make her own way in the larger world.

Review Summary: Needs a spiral cover!
Review: Mama Dip's cookbook offers the best collection of recipes since _Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine_. The country-style scrambled eggs are more than authentic and delicious, as are the breakfast chicken biscuits. One doesn't have to be toothless to enjoy Grandpa's chicken and people of all ages will make the cream cheese pound cake disappear. Try the roast turkey for a moist, tender, flavorful bird that won't last much past the meal - if that far! The rib roast is practically unspeakable - offer this succulent delight to guests and watch their reactions. While dishes prepared in a "traditional" soul food style are front and center, there are some tasty surprises, such as the stuffed mushrooms. It takes a long time to try every targeted recipe because there are so many, with nine of ten recipes bona fide hits. You won't be disappointed!

Review Summary: GREAT COOKBOOK!
Review: The best pecan pie recipe in this book that I have ever found, and I have looked for one for years! It can be doubled to fit my Watkin's 10" deep dish pie pan without burning the pecans or the filling! I love it!

Mama Dips has changed our long standing Thanksgiving tradition...her roated turkey recipe is so delectable we use this recipe now instead of the one that's been in use for the last 50 years. You won't go wrong with this cookbook. Highly recommended!!!
