Everyone who knows Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knows that she’s a supreme cook, that she’s the steward of the McQueen family recipes. But she didn’t measure when she cooked. Or write things down.Norma Jean’s brother Horace got to worrying about this. He cooks, too, but his repertoire isn’t as vast as Norma Jean’s. So he began bothering her about writing down how she makes her many dishes. "I didn’t want Norma Jean’s recipes, or our Mama’s recipes, to be lost. We wanted them preserved for our children and our grandkids. And other folks love to eat at my sister’s table, too."So the two got busy recording their treasured family recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes are their best ones. "This is food you will absolutely enjoy," says Horace. "Traditional, full of marvelous flavor, enhanced’ old-timeys!"Norma Jean and Horace have 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."This is food to pass on to your loved ones!" says Horace. "You’ll want to try it--again and again!"McQueen Haydel, Norma Jean is the author of 'Southern Heirloom Cooking' with ISBN 9781561484119 and ISBN 1561484113.
