"From the time I was a little girl, I knew there were two things in this world I was born to do: sing and cook. I've spent my life developing my voice and my recipes, and to tell you the truth, I'm hard pressed to say where I'm happiest in concert or in the kitchen, making music or making meals." For Patti, cooking is about love. Taught by the great Southern cooks in her family her mother, father, and aunts Hattie Mae and Joshia Mae Patti LaBelle has kept these family heirlooms close to her heart. But now, she invites you into her kitchen and serves up more than 100 of her favorite recipes, from treasured down home favorites Say My Name Smothered Chicken and Gravy, Fierce Fried Corn, and Aunt Hattie's Scrumptious Sweet Tater Brea to good enough for dinner parties dishes Shrimp Etouffée, Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary Lemon Rub, and Aunt Mary's Philadelphia Buttercake.
