Chef, author, and culinary historian Angela Shelf Medearis, also known as the Kitchen Diva, presents a compilation of over 200 traditional recipes with African-American roots. These authentic recipes originated in slave quarters, plantations, church suppers, and inter-generational family kitchens. With dishes from Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, The New African-American Kitchen presents each recipe with its cultural context, and includes incisive overviews of the African kitchen and the roots of soul cooking, Caribbean culinary history, and the contributions to America’s culinary heritage made by slave cooks. Published in 2008, The New African-American Kitchen deepens our understanding of the rich Black culinary traditions that continue to shape American and global cuisine.
