Publishers Text

This is a wonderful collection of traditional recipes and food memories. As well as contemporary favorite foods. All of the dishes celebrate lusty African American eating; the traditional foods reflect the ingenious, resourceful, and imaginative Africans who made them.

Included are Pastor's Famous Ribs, Shortbread, Cracklin' Cornbread, Okra Gumbo, New Orleans Red Beans and Rice, and Sweet Potato Pudding.

Woven among the 400 recipe are rich historic anecdotes and sayings. They were discovered or lived by this cookbook's contributors, many of whose ancestors participated in the Underground Railroad or lived nearby where it was active. Presented in an easy-to-use format for cooks of all traditions, this is a cookbook rich in history and rich in easy-to-prepare, wonderfully tasty food.
