SOUL FOOD ADVISOR
Hello, let me introduce myself! My name is Cassandra and I am your Soul-Food-Advisor. My passion is soul food.

Soul food has been a part of my life for years. As a youngster, I learned the art of cooking from my Big Mama growing up in West Tennessee. As I became older, I learned to perfect my own recipes, simply by adding my own unique blend. You know, everyone has a unique blend, you just need to learn how to master it. More on your unique blend later.

African American cuisine is not just about the food, its about the stories behind the food. And I will share my story with you and over 30 years of experience making soul food cuisine. I will also share my knowledge and experience and the lessons I’ve learned owing a successful soul food restaurant and catering business - both good and bad.

Some of these stories are unbelievable, and you don’t want to miss.

We would love to hear from you. Let us know what you like, what you want to see more of, or what you don’t like about this website. Take our reader’s poll so I can learn more about you. Your comments are important and are always welcome. Just complete the "Contact Us" form.

So, are you ready? If so, then sit back, put you legs up and enjoy the African-American cooking experience.
