Helen's Cookbook | A Family Affair

Banana Nut Bread on pg. 200 of the cookbook

Part of Helen's cookbook title is "Southern Cuisine and Family". If you have ever met Helen you know how dedicated she is to her family and customers. She has created great memories for a lot in the kitchen and around the table. Her book is one more way for her authentic southern hospitality, loving heart and amazing food to reach beyond Columbus Mississippi. I am making my way through the cookbook and loving every minute! My daughter and I had a wonderful moment making banana bread together. I can’t say I have mastered the recipes quite like Helen, but I did bring the Love!

Birney Imes: Cooking from the soul
The Commerical Dispatch
October 31 2009

Full Story: http://www.cdispatch.com/opinions/article.asp?aid=3566

On Thursday at Helen’s we had before us chicken, fried and baked with dressing; barbecue ribs and pigs’ feet along with yams, rice, mashed potatoes and green beans. Everyone, even the vegetarians among us, managed just fine.

Helen, who has been in business for 21 years, is coming out with a cookbook in time for Christmas. “Helen’s Kitchen: Cooking from the Soul; Southern Cuisine & Family” will be a compilation of Karriem family recipes. Helen’s daughter, Ayesha Karriem-Mayagoitia, who lives in Los Angeles, said Saturday the family is in the final stages of editing and production of the cookbook.

“I don’t know how she still does it,” said Ayesha of her mother. “Fourteen-hour days; up at 4:30.”

The family is hoping to have cookbooks in hand for a Nov. 21 tasting at the restaurant. The event will also be a birthday celebration for Helen who will turn 73 the next day.
