Praise for Maya Angelou's Hallelujah! The Welcome Table "A tour-de-force collaboration of two of Angelou's major passions--writing and cooking . . . She also shares the poignant, pithy and sometimes hilarious memories that accompany each dish."
--Ebony "Poet and literary legend Maya Angelou is as mighty with her spoon and spatula as she is with her world-renowned pen."
--Chicago Sun-Times
"Serious comfort food . . . The poet's life [is] laid out like a colorful banquet. . . . Meals serve as metaphors for life experience."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "The life of the poet-autobiographer . . . comes even more alive through plumes of aromas, a palette of flavors and a recipe box of memories."
--Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Each recipe is thoughtfully conceived and made even more enticing by the personal history attached to it. . . . The result is as divine as the woman herself, full of flavor, passion and hard work."
--Oakland Tribune "[Readers] will find not only a wealth of dishes . . . but a close-up, personal glimpse of a compelling writer and her family."
--New York Daily News "Written in the exuberant tone of an impromptu dinner gathering."
