Mama Said
Country Cajun Cookbook
Mamasaid is a collection of recipes and instructions that I learned from my mother on cooking some of the more popular Cajun and creole dishes along with some country favorites from my mother's country roots growing up in Mississippi... after my mother's passing I chronicled those recipes into a manuscript and wrote a short story of family life and memories together with the recipes and created mamasaid Country Cajun cookbook.

A Treasure Trove of Flavor and Family Memories
As someone who loves both good food and meaningful stories, Mama Said: Country Cajun Cookbook by Deon Dawson is a masterpiece. This isn’t just a cookbook—it’s a heartfelt journey through Southern kitchens and cherished family traditions. The recipes are authentic, easy to follow, and bursting with bold Cajun and Creole flavors. I especially loved the gumbo recipe, which instantly became a family favorite.
What sets this book apart is the personal touch. Deon weaves touching anecdotes about his mother and their time together, making each dish feel like a piece of history served on your plate. You can feel the love and pride poured into every page. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting out, this book will inspire you to gather around the dinner table and savor not just the food but the connections it fosters. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of incredible recipes and heartwarming stories. Well done, Deon!
