Pullen Martha Campbell - Martha Pullens Southern family cookbook: reflect on the past, rejoice in the present, and celebrate future gatherings with more than 250 heirloom recipes & meals

Who are your people? is a question often uttered upon meeting a new acquaintance in the South, where family is life and stories about family, faith, and food are a treasured heritage. Authors Dr. Martha Campbell Pullen and Suzanne Crocker have given readers a gracious invitation to get to know their people through this book while drawing a blueprint for family history documentation: recording stories of family heritage and faith and creating family memories through cherished recipes. Readers will find themselves taking a stroll down memory lane as they read and cook, remembering their own family food heritage or resolving to create one. These easy-to-prepare recipes could easily become favorites of your family, resulting in that annual discussion at the Thanksgiving table years from now about how Mamas dressing is the best.

Martha Pullen epitomizes the southern hostess. Whether she is serving family or friends, she makes everyone her special guests. Her table is laden with her favorite dishes. She serves with the heart of a servant who is called by God to love and serve others.

From the moment I met Martha, we were friends. She is an excellent writer, a good person, and best of all, a true friend. And her food is delicious!

Every cookbook should be more than pages filled with great recipes. It should be filled with recipes that bring to mind your favorite memory of your grandmother as she picked the fruit from the trees to make your favorite dessert, or your mother when she made your favorite birthday dinner. That is exactly what Marthas must-have cookbook gives to each of you: a much loved recipe, a treasured memory, and a time to spend in the heart of the home with loved ones while you both cook your meals and share them.

I am sew excited about Marthas new cookbook! Herb and I have visited Martha and Joes home and they are wonderful hosts and serve fabulous food! It will be wonderful to have all her favorite recipes at my fingertips! On my first visit to Marthas home I had never heard of Chess Pie. Two slices later I was on a quest to find the recipe, and my Dad and I made it for every family occasion until his passing.

After thumbing through Marthas cookbook I found myself thinking about the many cookbooks and recipes my dad had given me from my grandmother who I never knew; however, when I would open them I could feel that we had some type of a connection through them. The many hours that Martha and Suzanne have spent compiling these recipes is truly an inspiration to all of us; it feeds our bodies, minds, and souls to overflowing. It will bring tears of joy to your eyes as you read the stories of their journey to this place in their lives and know we will feast at the eternal table forever. I love you Martha and thank you for all you have given us.

Martha Pullen is the quintessential Southern matriarchshe is happiest when her home, and her dining table, are full of loved ones sharing a delicious meal. This book is an homage to all of the other Southern matriarchs in Marthas family who shared their recipes and stories with Martha. And what a treasure that she is now sharing them with us! This cookbook will inspire you to pick up a spatula and a pen because you will want to record your own stories as you try Martha and Suzannes amazing recipes. Martha has amassed a business empire worthy of the biggest mogul. She has amassed that empire because she practices what she preachesshe lives her life and conducts her business by staying true to the Christian principles that have guided her family for generations. Through her personal recollections, we are able to see what makes a great cook, a great hostess, a great mother, and a great business womanits her ability to find joy in the simple things like a good meal, her adherence to the Christian principles that she lives by, and her willingness to share her knowledge and experience with others.
