Recipes for the Good Life Hardcover – Illustrated, November 4, 2008

Patti LaBelle discovered the good life and wants to share it with you—her new cookbook offers delicious recipes that range from healthy to decadent.“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 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!
