Mom Certified Celebrates Heritage by Tiffany Hinton and Will Hinton holds a treasure trove of recipes from the past. It is Southern cooking at its best. These are the foods I was raised on– the flavors, tastes, and textures that say “You are Home. You are with Family. You are loved. All is well”.
Mom Certified Celebrates Heritage is not your typical cookbook. It is the story of Tiffany & Will Hinton’s personal heritage. It looks like the family scrapbook with antique photos and notes scribbled on recipe cards by beloved grandmothers. The love of family is evident through the entire book.
I was born and raised in Texas. By the time I was in grade school, I could fix a full meal. And when I was in high school, with my mother working full time, I took over all of the responsibility for cooking supper for our family of 6. The recipes in Mom Certified Celebrates Heritage are the exact same recipes that were passed down by my grandmother to my mother; the same recipes that I learned how to make at my mother’s elbow; the same recipes that I have handed down to my daughters. In fact, my first response when I saw this book was “WOW!! She used my recipes!!”
But they aren’t mine. They belong to the South. What makes these recipes different is that Mom Certified has reinvented them into Gluten Free, Allergy free versions of their former selves. And yet, none of the flavors, none of the tastes of traditional Southern food has been lost. Recipes like BBQ Pulled Pork with homemade gluten free BBQ sauce; Breads including Dinner Rolls and Cornbread; and, of course, desserts of all kinds including homemade gluten free pie crusts and vanilla wafers to make a real Southern treat – Banana Pudding.
The first thing I made was a delicious Potato Soup . It tasted just like I remembered.
