Welcome Friend,

I'm Willie Crawford, and I created this website back in 1997 to share with you soul food recipes I learned while growing up on the farm in North Carolina. Recipes like: Collard Greens, Sweet Potato Pie, Southern Pound Cake, Homemade Biscuits, Banana Pudding, North Carolina-style Pulled Pork Barbecue, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Hush Puppies, Southern Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish, Pinto Beans With Ham Hocks, and tons of others.

When I first built this site I started out by posting about 20 of these great recipes right on the website. Then I invited all website visitors to join our mailing list and share their favorite recipes with each other. Since then, literally thousand of soul food and old-family recipes have been shared by website visitors.

Now we're inviting YOU to join the fun. To become a part of our online family, just click here and fill in the box to receive free recipes via email.

Every day, list members email in their request for hard to find recipes to list members.

Everyday, other list members share favorite recipes with the thousands of list members.

These daily requests are edited and and the list is sent out to tens of thousands of members by our trusty editor Joleene Smith!

Here is what some of our list members have to say about our recipe exchange mailing list:

"All the wonderful recipes that are found on Willie's site are
straight from the hearts and souls of the sharers! So much
love and joy are a part of these offerings. My heart AND my
tummy are happy with each post that comes to me....

"For over a year, I believe, I've been receiving awesome recipes
from www.chitterlings.com. Whenever I request a recipe, someone
ALWAYS respond w/ not only that particular recipe, but more. I've
been educated on many things. After forwarding a few recipes to
my sister, she too signed up to begin receiving recipes from this
site.

The people are really great and I plan to continue to be apart of
the www.chitterlings.com family for a long time.
Thanks for the Great Recipes!!!

"Hello to all of ya's
I have been getting your recipes off line for a while now, the
food is very similar to what I was brought up on. I like the
pinch of this or that because that is exactly what I do and it is
very hard to write down a recipe for that reason.

I have been passing them around the office where I work, and
telling everyone about them.

I finally got my recipe book yesterday and just love it. I could
not put it down until I had gone cover to cover.
Thanks again.
Mary from Sarasota, Florida"

"Gee I can't even imagine what cooking was like
before "more soulful recipes" came about. I really look forward
to reading the recipes daily. I have gained as much from the
reply posting as the recipes themselves. If I don't get a post
daily I really feel cheated. I have saved each and every post so
I can refer back to them. Thanks for giving me such good stuff.
Charlotte"

"HI ! ALL : Every since i signed up for the receipe service i
began to experience my childhood over again. I can remember that
my mom and granny would go to the farm when he was butchering the
hogs, and they would get a couple heads to make head cheese and
get the brains for my dad.

He loved pork brains with his eggs in the morning. Also the feet,
mom would either bbq them or pan fry them. I was also raised in
North Carolina, High Point.

The one thing we always loved is pork fat hunny!!! Now that i,m
getting older i have got to watch what i eat, but for my comfort
food i always return to the hog. Keep up the good work with all
the various receipes you provide to us! thank you! We love the
great cookbook we purchased, its makes me home sick for some more
of moms cooking.

"I am an older, semi-retired batchelor that has always enjoyed
cooking. I read most recipes that I find but use few as
presented. I always modify or use them for ideas to create
something of my own. Your site gives me a wealth of ideas and
would be lost without it. Thanks for youe effort.

I really enjoy the chitterlings.com
recipe site. I like a lot of old fashioned southern and soul
food recipes, which I find lots of on chitterlings.com.

Thanks,
Debbie Bliss"

"I really enjoy your newsletter as I get some teriffic recipes!
Each newsletter has at least one, if not more, recipe that I look
forward to making. Thanks for your time and efforts.
Sheila Torres"

"Since I have joined Chitterlings.com I have introduced it to my
best friend and we have cooked and compared. I have tried
several of the recipes and also use some of them as a basis for
when I want to get into the kitchen and just "experiment." I
encourage anyone who is reading and not yet a member to join.
It's a perfect site for recipes of anything you have ever thought
of cooking or for foods you've tasted and said... "I wonder
what's in this to make it soooo good.

Much love and God bless
Bethany Wells"

"Joleene,
I look forward to your daily messages, as I would a call or visit
from a good friend. The recipes are wonderful. As a suggestion,
it would be great if your site incorporated all of the new
recipes into some type of search engine. Thanks again for all
that you do.
Cynthia Engram"

"Jolene,
Just wanted you to know what a great list you have. I am the
hospitality chairperson for the Sierra Club in my area. I
provide "goodies" for the general meetings, and have
the executive committee meeting at my home. I also provide
"goodies" for the Historical Society and the genealogical
society in my area each month. I ran out of new things to
take and make until I subscribed to your list. It is
wonderful!!! I have used many of the recipes and
not one failure. I have been asked for many recipes which
I have copied off for many people.
Thank you for the great job that you do.
Jakki"

"Joleene,

I can not tell you how happy I am that I discovered this site.
I've been a member for a while so I really don't remember how I
did find it.

I love the recipes that I've gotten from this site. I look
forward also to the emails with recipes in them. I've tried so
many of the recipes and have found them flawless. I love comfort
food and a lot of these recipes have provided that for my family
and myself. I love to cook so I have definitely come to the
right place.

I am also looking forward to ordering the new cookbook. I am
such a collector of cookbooks but for some reason I feel this
will be the best one yet!!!

Deborah Keough"

"I have been able to converse with a diverse group of people from
across the country, individuals who were willing to answer
questions regarding recipes, ingredients and recipe scaling. I
have gotten some wonderful advice, and excellent recipes.
Lynnette Brantley"

"I enjoy reading the recipes and have used several of them.
Yesterday I tried the Sweet Potato Pound Cake recipe. It was
delicious and really moist. I have already shared the recipe
with several people.
Thank you.
Charlotte Hanner"

"Love this site!!! I get some many GOOD recipes.
Debbie McGowan"

"Chitterlings is a wonderful place. I have been a member for a
long time and I have shared favorite recipes with others. I think
the best part is learning new soulfood recipes that I had heard
of but never tried.

Although I live in Ohio my father was born in Virginia and raised
in West Virginia. His love of southern cooking encourged me to
learn more and try more.

My German grand mother gave me the other side. She taught me
dishes to die for, that are also inexpensive.

The people here who share foods from other cultures are so great.
I have tried Mexican foods that are wonderful.

Everyone should at least give Chitterlings a try and read a few
of the messages. If you aren't happy you can always unsubscibe
but I can't imagine that happening.

Best wishes to Willie and Joleen.
Lois from Ohio"

"I came across Chitterlings.com quite by accident. I was
searching for a recipe and Chitterlings.com was one of the sites

that the search engine found. The name was very unusual but to
the point. I thought "this must be a soul food site", and it
was. I was absolutely thrilled to find some of the food my
grandmother cooked in recipe form. I love soul food and I like
to cook it but could never seem to find the recipes that I
wanted. I ordered the cookbook the first time that I logged on
to Chitterlings.com. I have told all of my family and friends
about the site and the cookbook.

Keep up the good work!

Barbara"

since first discovered it last year! MORE SOULFUL RECIPES stands
in a class all by itself! I have not missed a day since I became
a member to visit the site and to read new and old recipes. I
have met new friends and found many wonderful recipes from all
over the country. I have never experienced a site that had so
much to offer to it's members!
Lettie Griffin"

"Dear Chitterlings,

I have been a member for some time, and I just love this site!
Its a great way of getting wonderful recipes (like grandma used
to make) and to share some of my family favorites. Keep up the
great job and keep them comin'
Thanks so much for an easy way to stay in contact with some great
cooks!

Sincerely Yours,
Tara Norris"

"JOLENE: Your cooking newsletter is most informative. The
recipes are great! They are down home-cooking recipes that I
grew up with. I can relate to each of them. Not only did I learn
cooking from my mother, but I also learned from my grand-mother
who lived on a farm. Their meals consisted of foods they grew
themselves. A lot of the recipes are some I remember well, the
others are some I had forgotten about. The section where people
write in wanting recipes are interesting also. Each of us have
different tastes and we are willing to share the recipes. I also
lived in Louisiana and learned to cook everything CAJUN I could.
I am sorry I do not have a photo available to send. It would be
interesting to see face to face the persons you are sharing
recipes with.

DORIS"

"Dear Joleene:

I have been a member of the list since about June and I have
gotten some really great recipes. I was interested in some
Eggplant recipes before I joined the list and I got several good
ones. One thing I like is the fact that you get so many
variations of recipes. You can pick and choose whichever one you
like. Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Cola Harris"
