false 5250182 1 "A lot of my memories with my loved ones are set around a dinner table, sharing a meal and sharing good conversation. Food has always been at the center of my joy, from the fish fries my parents had every weekend to the barbecues I have in my backyard today. Food can bring people together, to laugh, to eat, and to simply celebrate life. Most people know me for my voice, and that is truly a gift from God. But food and the ability to share it with others is also a gift -- a gift that you can give to those you love. It is with that spirit that I share my third cookbook." -- Patti LaBelle<P>Miss Patti is back, as fierce as ever, sharing more than 100 new recipes that will have your mouth watering and your guests begging for seconds! With dishes ranging from the Over the Top, Top, Top Macaroni and Cheese (with shrimp and lobster!), to the Poached Salmon with Basil Cream Sauce and Fettuccine, to the Tender and Juicy Barbecued Baby Back Ribs, to the Fried Apple Pie, there's something perfect for every occasion. She not only walks you through the preparation of her favorite dishes with ease, but also shares heartfelt and witty stories about food, family, and life throughout the book. Her first two cookbooks were hits and this one is sure to please as well.<P>"You'll see throughout the book that I have used products from my Patti LaBelle Good Life product line. The philosophy behind the brand is that the good life can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of background or how much money you have. It's not about spending a lot of money -- it's about making what you do spend count, taking pride in what you have, and pampering yourself in little ways that make you feel special. This is the thinking behind my signature line of products -- it's accessible to everyone, reasonably priced, simple, and from my heart. So, here's perhaps the most important recipe in this entire book, so memorize it -- it's my recipe for living the good life: keep it simple, make it special, share your heart, and pamper yourself!" -- Patti LaBelle 5317482 4 11 2008 Recipes for the Good Life total:5|5:3|3:1|2:1| 5 20 8 0 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 17:50:50 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 17:50:50 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue May 12 05:35:17 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 14:54:39 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 05:35:17 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Mar 30 06:50:45 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 06:50:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Mar 14 16:11:24 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 16:11:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 25 08:24:52 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 10:57:14 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 08:24:52 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Dec 11 17:33:20 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 17:33:20 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 31 17:15:23 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 17:15:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Oct 26 20:13:42 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 26 20:13:42 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5250182
