“Mailbox Muffins and Other Recipes from the Gulf Coast Homeless” was developed by Gulf Coast residents like Bobby Kelly as a testament to their ingenuity and pride, even in the worst of situations. Every dollar earned will be used to further the mission of Oregon Place. On August 28, 2005, a 28-foot storm surge crashed onto the Gulf Coast, delivering 55-foot sea waves and hurricane-force winds. Miraculously, in the woods just outside Gulfport, Miss. amid broken trees, debris and devastation, a tiny tent survived. For more than 8 years, it had been the place that Bobby, an out-of-work laborer and his girlfriend, Jennifer, called home. They didn’t have a radio, so they never knew the storm was coming.
Throughout the night, they managed to survive by clinging to the porch of a nearby house. The next day, when the winds calmed and they returned to their tent, it had somehow survived.
Today, Bobby and Jennifer live in a modern, air-conditioned apartment in Gulfport’s Oregon Place, where Bobby is working on his high school equivalency. He and Jennifer are making a new and better life, just like thousands of their fellow Mississippians. Folks like Bobby don’t waste anything. Cans are used as cooking pots, and a discarded mailbox placed above a cook fire became their improvised oven, into which tuna fish cans filled with donated mix became containers for muffins. Hard as life has been for Bobby, he’s one of the lucky ones, and he knows it. Statewide, Katrina killed at least 235 people.Oregon Place has given Bobby, Jennifer and countless others a chance to do just that. It’s an innovative new experiment in low-income housing, supported mostly through private donations. It affords proud, determined people to remake their lives, finish their educations and move toward a better tomorrow.

Mailbox Muffins And Other Recipes from the Gulf Coast Homeless edition by The Homeless of Oregon Place Apartments Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks Reviews
Heart warming and tasty, Mailbox Muffins is a unique cookbook with a story. It brings you into the lives of people who have seen and lived through many hardships. Each dish has a meaning to someone and is brought to life by their experiences. The recipies are not common culinary practices, but unique dishes from unique people. It reminds us how lucky we truley are by tasting the best parts of life through the worst experiences.
This book about comfort foods and culinary accomplishments is not only a delight for any cook but a testimony to how the human spirit can rise up against the challenges and tragedies of homelessness and displacement. Mailbox Muffins and Other Recipes from the Gulf Coast Homeless is as much an uplifting story as it is an excellent cookbook.
As anybody from the south knows, food and hospitality are two very important aspects of everyday life. The stories told in Mailbox Muffins and Other Recipes from the Gulf Coast Homeless from those who survived Katrina and its aftermath show that food and hospitality permeate every level of society. Many of the people, now residents in Oregon Place, found themselves with nothing left, other than the caring and compassion of other people, who, during their own struggles, sacrificed more for the good of someone else.
The journey from the streets, fields, and woods to the Oregon Place apartment complex shows how--with just a little help from caring, compassionate individuals-- the people society often looks down upon can rise to become the contributing members of the community and society they have always wanted to be.
Beyond such lessons we can all learn from this book, the recipes really work. As the name of the book suggests, there are many ways to cook that the most seasoned chef would not have considered. And if you're new to cooking or are in a last minute pinch as to what to fix for dinner, there are plenty of options and simple recipes to choose from.
These stories and recipes offer a rare and unique glimpse into a part of society that most choose to forget. This book has lessons we should all remember, and will make you never look at a mailbox the same way again.
I was amazed at the types of recipes concocted by people living on the streets. I tried 10 of them and they were all delicious and am looking forward to trying more of them. The stories of the homeless were very interesting too.
