Recipes from Mother Waddles Cookbook. Turning vintage 1970's cooking into a fabulous wine dinner party. But, Mother Waddles knew how to stretch a nickel. So, these are great family meal planning for the week recipes. The ham hocks alone will last a few days.

Family Meal is about exploring food from different places and different times to understand how people make awesome food with what they have.

In this episode, we are riffing on recipes from the Mother Waddles Cookbook, written in 1970 in Detroit. We can’t go back to that time. But, we can understand it better through the food in this book.

Charlesetta Waddles, or Mother Waddles, could squeeze the greatness out of anyone, out of anything, even her food. She was best known as the CEO of Mother Waddles Perpetual Mission, a non-profit that still provides comprehensive social services in Detroit. But, she also wrote two cookbooks filled with food that pushes boundaries with common ingredients.
