Soul Food OdysseyIn the introduction to Soul Food Odyssey, Chef Stephanie Tyson describes her early feelings when people assumed her Sweet Potatoes restaurant was a "soul food" establishment. "Soul food was like the boxer George Foreman," she says. "He would stand there and go toe to toe. It wasn't pretty, but he got the job done, and you'd be on your butt. Southern food, on the other hand, was like Muhammad Ali a little prettier, and you'd still be on your butt I

In the introduction to Soul Food Odyssey, Chef Stephanie Tyson describes her early feelings when people assumed her Sweet Potatoes restaurant was a "soul food" establishment. "Soul food was like the boxer George Foreman," she says. "He would stand there and go toe-to-toe. It wasn't pretty, but he got the job done, and you'd be on your butt. Southern food, on the other hand, was like Muhammad Ali--a little prettier, and you'd still be on your butt I wanted Ali. I missed the connection that they were both great fighters. Once I got off my high horse, I wanted to know, from a culinary point of view, how do you make what is essentially castaway food into a 'cuisine'?" In Soul Food Odyssey, Tyson takes readers along on her journey back to find the food her grandmother called "sumntaeat." The recipes she shares include how to cook various parts of the pig from "the router to the tooter"; other meat dishes, including everything from stewed turkey wings and pot roast to a Low Country boil; what Tyson calls "stone soul sides," including crackling cornbread, hoecakes, and, of course, different kinds of greens; soups and stews including oxtail and fish head stew and "Everything in It Vegetable Soup"; and desserts "to sell your soul for." Along with the recipes come Tyson's comments, which reflect her biting wit as well as her deep appreciation of the food she has come to embrace.

Stephanie L. Tyson is a creative chef who has turned growing up in the South into the soul of her restaurant, Sweet Potatoes. Born in North Carolina, Tyson spent countless hours dreaming of the bright lights of anywhere else. But once she left to travel and cook around the world, she could not believe what a relief it was to come home again. Trained in culinary arts at Baltimore International College, Chef Tyson opened her award-winning restaurant with her partner, Vivi n Joiner, in 2003 in the downtown Arts District of Winston-Salem, where they live.

Tempur-Cloud Pillow
Number of Items: 1
My daughter has been struggling to find a good pillow that does not hurt her ears. She is a tummy sleeper, as am I. I have also been struggling to find the perfect pillow. I heard about Tempur pillows and thought it a good idea to buy my daughter a pillow for her birthday. It arrived last night. She tried it out during the night. When she woke up this morning, the first thing she said was that the pillow is amazing. It was a good night for her. She said it felt like sleeping on a marshmallow - soft enough to not hurt her ears but firm enough to support her neck. The pillow is very comfortable. 😊

Just ok
Number of Items: 1
This pillow flattens so much I’m not sure if it’s a legit tempur pedic or not. I bought one previously from Tempur Pedic store and the quality is better plus is more supportive. This one is meh . I gave it to my husband, he doesn’t care

Get one but use it on a medium firm mattress, not a firm one.
Number of Items: 1
You need a mattress that is medium firmness to use this wonderful pillow. It gives perfect neck support and I can sleep on all 4 sides with it. My neck/head pain quit first night used it. On a firm mattress it feels too hard and awkwardly cradle l es my head.

Great Pillows
Number of Items: 2
Got the 2pk, while these are probably not worth $65/pillow, they are definitely comfortable and I had no issues sleeping on it. Much better than the memory foam pillows from Walmart. Could be a bit bigger and denser on the foam, but otherwise its perfect. Pair with nylon cover for better cooling.
