New Book from Author Millicent Elaine Williams
For those of you who haven’t picked up your copy yet, Vada’s Vittles is a heart-warming book about an orphan who comes of age to create family soul food recipes and virtues for her own children, as well as for generations of people from miles and miles around. The foreword was written by Indiana Representative Gregory Porter, who brilliantly introduces Vada’s Vittles to readers immediately drawn by his mention of superstars like Natalie Cole, Bill Cosby, and Luther Vandross. You see, the woman who cooked for those stars is also the woman featured in the book as simply Vada. Her story is one in a million and many people have said they could not put the book down, once they started reading it.
If you love family, cooking, good parenting tips, and making the people you love happy, Vada’s Vittles is the book for you.
From the Book jacket “A spry 78 now, momma stands 5′ 4 with way more salt than pepper short tapered hair, a smooth west indies copper brown complexion, a small round head, ample small nose and lips, with meaningful intense, yet warm brown eyes, and a rather healthy belly that seems to aid her in laughing heartily. She has witnessed a whole bunch of living, dying, laughing and crying. The food she cooks and serves is some of the best grub you will ever put in your mouth. Her greens, macaroni and cheese, and hot water cornbread will make you hurt yourself, and her vittles of wisdom, empowerment, and survival will make you take care of yourself. Help yourself to Vada’s Vittles. Her recipes and sayings are seasoned to perfection for your kitchens and your souls.”
