Willie Crawford is a great inspiration to me. This man has written a fine cookbook, which is a collector’s item. There are recipes in it like you will find nowhere else.

He grew up dirt poor in North Carolina the way I grew up dirt poor in Mississippi. I doubt that Willie realized he was poor during his youth because he had the richness of wonderful family members around him and there was always plenty of good food prepared well. In that way, my life parallels his—being reared by and with some of the best folks in the world who ate some of the best food ever cooked.

Not only has Willie brightened the world with his cookbook writing; he has also taught many people about the methods he has learned in the field of marketing. He is a true example of someone who has gone from rags to riches.

Most important to me is the friendship that he and his lovely wife Nancy have extended. I am deeply honored by the lovely review that he has written of my cookbook.

Willie Crawford’s Soul Food Recipes Learned on a North Carolina Tobacco Farm is a cookbook you need. It has been a huge commercial success. When you receive your copy, you will understand why I recommend it so highly and why it is such a good seller.
