Welcome to the adventures of Sadie Vaughan, the best cook in Yazoo City, Mississippi. This is a novel with recipes that will be posted a few paragraphs every day or so.
HAWAIIAN SUNSETS AND MISS EDNA’S COCONUT DREAM CAKE is a hilarious look at a woman’s re-invention as she reconciles the clash between Hawaii’s exoticism and diversity, and unquestioned Southern customs and traditions-- all served with a hearty dollop of delectable food. As Sadie’s previously unexamined assumptions about her life are challenged, she faces each one with openness and a suitable recipe. Sadie will win your heart, but don’t be surprised if you gain a few pounds in the process! This is a cooking novel- the book is filled with some of the best recipes you have ever eaten and the coconut cake recipe is hands down, the best coconut cake in the world. If you can't wait for the post, click on the main page, then click on the column on the left and just buy the book. But be warned, once you make this cake, you will never be invited to another party unless you're asked to "bring that cake"!.
