Melba Wilson

Fresh from the kitchen of her legendary Harlem restaurant,
Melba’s, the reigning queen of American comfort food serves
up one hundred delectable recipes that put her own special
touch on favorite dishes—and taste just like home.

Where do celebrities and foodies go for the most delicious
fried chicken and eggnog waffles? To Melba’s, of course!
Melba Wilson is a sweet, upbeat, occasionally sassy, always
genuine ambassador for the cuisine known for years as soul
food but that she prefers to call American comfort food.

Melba cut her culinary teeth at the iconic Sylvia’s, the
famed Windows on the World, and the hugely popular Rosa
Mexicano. Now, as the pioneering owner of her own legendary
Harlem restaurant, she proudly holds court in Melba’s
always-packed dining room, dishing out lovingly prepared
sweet potato pie, wine-braised short ribs, BBQ turkey
meatloaf, deviled eggs, and a legion of mouth-watering
American classics as well as unforgettable special twists on
beloved comfort foods.

Now you don’t have to leave the comfort of your own home to
dig into her sumptuous signature recipes! With mouthwatering
full-color photography and a beautiful design, Melba’s
American Comfort features the secrets of her irresistible
home cooking, passed down from her great-grandmother and
other talented generations and given her own loving
variations, plus a treasure trove of delightful stories from
the heart of her bustling kitchen.
