I really want to try this pie but I am an amateur to baking. I really think she should have said the measurement amounts for us beginners. As a result I will have to research other similar pies to figure out how much butter, sugar to start out with. It may sound simple but its the main ingredients so I probably shouldn't mess that part up. Also, I like the show I think she's spunky and cute but she definitely needs some music!

reminded me of the spirit of my country Grandmother's kitchen and my Mother and Aunts. I live in the city now and get homesick for this kind of down to earth magic that real women can do when they get to real cooking. Thanks for keeping this spirit alive and bringing it in to our modern age.
The Diva's love for the food and history and her down to earth honesty about learning to cook is so wonderful -if you are a like minded soul. I'm inspired to try the recipes and spiritually uplifted by the soul of the program.
please keep it up!!

It's certainly not as flashy as some shows, but it feels a little more honest. I love how the recipes seem to be designed for home cooks, who don't have all the time in the world, or the energy after a hard day, to do everything required to make an amazing meal, but still want to eat well. I loved seeing the connections between different culture's food as well. If you were paying attention, you could track the culinary influences of Africa through Southern dishes to her modern take on them, in Texas. I kept thinking of the original Congo chicken influencing peanut butter and tomato sandwiches in the Southern states, and then her modern take as well.The lack of measurements didn't bother me. There are a lot of celebrity chef's who leave them out. This is the way my mother was taught to cook. "You take a handful of this, and a couple of pinches of that, mix it until it looks like this ..." no solid measurements, just approximations.I'm going to keep watching.

She doesn't give measurements so she basically wants to sell her cookbooks. I wish that she would use a spatula instead of a spoon when transferring gooey mixtures.

I clicked on this because I was board. Its a pretty good entertaining cooking show. I think it will get better with time and experience. As to the Food, well I never gave African American cook a though, let alone eat it, Well that pie may very well change my mind on that. I still will not go and eat Tofu, Over all I think you will have a good run.
