American soul : the Black history of food in the United States Cover Image Book

American soul : the Black history of food in the United States / Anela Malik & original recipes by Renae Wilson ; illustrations by Andrea Pippins.

Malik, Anela, (author.). Wilson, Renae, (author.). Pippins, Andrea, (illustrator.).

Summary:

Delve into foodways of the United States, including testimonies from more than 30 Black chefs, restaurateurs, historians and luminaries, as well as 40 historically-rooted recipes. Equal parts historical exploration and cookbook, this rich narrative reveals the rich and indelible contributions of the Black diaspora in shaping the footprint of American cuisine. With nuance and empathy, Anela reveals the unrecognized Black roots of some of the most iconic American food traditions and provides a deeper understanding of the profound yet hidden contributions of the Black community to American cuisine.
