Everyone who knew Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knew that sheās a supreme cook and that she was the steward of the McQueen family recipes. But she didnāt measure when she cooked. Or write things down.
Norma Jeanās brother Horace got to worrying about this. He cooked, too, but his repertoire wasnāt as vast as Norma Jeanās. So he began bothering her about writing down how she made her many dishes.
āI didnāt want Norma Jeanās recipes, or our Mamaās recipes, to be lost. We have kids coming. And other folks love to eat at my sisterās table, too.ā
So the two got busy recording their treasured family recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes includes their best ones. āThis is food you will absolutely enjoy,ā said Horace. āTraditional, full of marvelous flavor, āenhancedā old-timeys.ā
Norma Jean and Horace put together the full line-up: crawfish bisque, poblano cream soup, wilted spinach salad, smothered pork ribs, zesty broasted chicken, baked catfish, cajun rice jambalaya, stuffed cornbread, five-flavor pound cake, margarita pie, and on and on.
