This cookbook is one that showcases the life and cooking skills of a character known as Madea. Christened Mabel Earlene Simmons, Madea is one amazing, funny, vindictive, blunt, and adorable Black American old woman with the oversized gowns and gray wig; not to forget her purse that she is always quick to put under her arm in a frenzy (we all will agree that Madea can be very adorable when she wants to be, which is like once in a blue moon. Lol)

Speaks sass, vulgar, and sarcasm as a language, this character played by movie producer and director, Tyler Perry Jr, is an old African American woman who was born and raised in Louisiana. Madea is not a lover of religion, but she believes in God sometimes and this can be seen in her reluctance to go to church and her weird by amusing way of quoting the scriptures wrongly to suit herself. (“The Bible said in second Deuteronomy, the book of Jericho that: ‘The eye for a tooth, a tooth for the people. If everybody got the eye, punch them in it’ “)

Despite her penchant for getting into all sorts of troubles which include destroying people’s properties, theft, getting into trouble with the law, assaults and battery, reckless driving, and spilling people’s secrets, Madea is still a sweet woman who you would love to have on your team.

Madea goes all the way to stand up for people she likes (which are people you can count on one hand anyway, she doesn’t like a lot of people), she also stands for what is just even though she goes overboard about it because she ain’t scared of da po po.

She is loving, kind, protective, intelligent, and wise; and this last attribute can be seen in most of the thought-provoking and wisdom-laden words that she shares. Examples of such sayings include:

“You only mess up when you mix seasonal people with lifetime expectations.”

“Honey, folks are going to talk about you till the day you die… and ain’t nothing you can do. Let folks talk. It ain’t about what they call you, it’s about what you answer to. Remember that, you hear me?”

Although Madea could overreact and be “gangsteristic” most of the time and could also be a bully too (can be seen in the way she bullies her brother, Joe, Hattie Mae, Aunty Bam and everyone she can get her bullying claws into!!), she is one heck of a cook.

Madea makes the best African American meals you can think of, and we are all excited and happy to be sharing some of the recipes with you in this cookbook!!!
