recipes to sing
about
Broadway Books; 1999
By Patti LaBelle with Laura B.

For Patti, cooking is about love. Taught by
great Southern cooks in her family - her
mother, father, and aunts Hattie Mae and
Joshia Mae
P a tti
LaBelle has
kept these

Scruptious Sweet Tater Bread - to good-
enough-for-dinner-parties dishes - Shrimp
Etouffée, Roast Leg o f Lamb with Rosemary-
Lemon Rub, and Aunt M ary’s Philadelphia
Buttercake.
Wherever Patti goes, so do her electric frying
pans and bottles o f hot sauce. After her raise-
the-roof shows, she often goes back to her
hotel room and whips up a meal for her band
o f celebrity visitors. When she’s home - at
holiday time and at family gatherings - or just
after one o f her sole-out concert tours, Patti
likes nothing more than to head for her kitchen
ad cook herGeechee Geechee Ya Ya Gumbo,
Pass-It-On Pot Roast, or Bum in’ Babyback
Ribs. And like her bestselling memoir, D on’t
Block the Blessings, her accompanying
personal reminiscences will fill your heart
just as her recipes will fill your stomach.
Patti LaBelle Cuisine has the recipes you’ll
want to cook, eat, and share with friends.
Filled with the legendary diva’s favorite dishes
and step-by-step instructions on how to
prepare them, LaBelle Cuisine makes you
feel like Patti’s in the kitchen with you,
demonstrating the recipes and techniques
that can turn anybody into a fabulous cook.
