Soul food recipes have grown into the one of the fastest growing cuisines today.  Perhaps because of the comfort food feeling it gives.

Whatever the reason, traditional soul food recipes continue to stand the test of time, despite the criticisms for its high  calorie, sodium and fat content  recipes.
