Erma Gray was born and raised in Mississippi and comes from a long line of community-loved cooks. Her personal cookbook was officially published about ten years ago, but many of the recipes within date even further back to the time of her grandmother. And throughout that time, many people in her community have showered plenty of praise for their familys food.
Among the recipes in her cookbook Cooking with Erma Gray include over a dozen different cakes, including the classic Mississippi Mud Cake. Aside from that are various recipes for fried chicken, roast pork, and other delectable mains. Gray also writes the instructions for each recipe in a neat, simple, and conversational style that readers can follow along while working in the kitchen.
Even today, Gray continues to use these recipes both at home and in her catering business. Her culinary expertise has even carried her through stints at popular brands such as Hornel Foods and Quaker Oats.
