Treasured family recipes from the South

Everyone who knew Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knew that she was a supreme cook, the steward of the McQueen family recipes. But she didn’t measure when she cooked. Or write things down.

Norma Jean’s brother Horace got to worrying about this, so he began bothering her about writing down how she made her many dishes.

“I didn’t want Norma Jean’s recipes, or our Mama’s recipes, to be lost. We have kids coming. And other folks love to eat at my sister’s table, too.”

So the two got busy and recorded this collection of more than 250 dishes, includes their best ones. “This is food you will absolutely enjoy,” said Horace. “Traditional, full of marvelous flavor, ‘enhanced’ old-timeys.”
