Review: Brown Sugar Kitchen: New-Style, Down-Home Recipes from Sweet West Oakland
Brown Sugar Kitchen: New-Style, Down-Home Recipes from Sweet West Oakland by Tanya Holland

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Part cookbook and part guide to Oakland California, this is a very interesting cookbook. I’ve made the waffles and custom apple cider syrup. I teed up many other recipes to make in the future. If you like southern/new orleans style food, you’ll find some interesting recipes here.
