How to Cook dishes from African-American tradition
In the United States,
there are around 39 million African-Americans,
that is to say Americans who are ultimately descended
from people from sub-Saharan Africa. African-Americans are the largest racial minority in
the country.
African-Americans arrived in the
United States via a number of
different routes. The ancestors of many African-Americans were brought to the country
as slaves, during the 19th century or earlier. Other African-Americans immigrated to the
US voluntarily, from
Africa, from the Caribbean, or from Latin America.
African-American cuisine reflects the nature of the African-American community.
Some dishes, particularly what is known "Soul Food",
trace their origins to American South, and in particular low-cost foods that were available to
slaves. Other African-American dishes, include dishes influenced by
Caribbean cuisine,
Latin American cuisine,
and of course,
African cuisine.

Product Description:
"Our Family Table" is a cookbook that nourishes both mind & body. In the warmth of the kitchen the childhood stumbling blocks & triumphs of African-American life models including neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, broadcast journalist Ed Bradley, dancer Judith Jamison, actor Robert Townsend, & producer Camille Cosby are explored. Family traditions, special recipes, food memories, & dreams encouraged through conversations, all combine to show that regardless of background, or size, or income, or region of the country, the human family soars when it connects. Recipes included in "Our Family Table" have been refined to reflect a more healthy style of eating with less added salt & fat. Color photographs of participants bring the book to life. The cover is a reproduction of a quilt made by Willia Ette Graham, an octogenarian who was taught the art of quilting from her great-grandmother, who was a slave. A portion of the proceeds goes to support Our Daily Bread & Cobbler Shop, a retail bakery & youth intervention center in Atlanta, Georgia |

Product Description:
From the organization that brought us The Black Family Reunion cookbooks comes The Historical Cookbook of the American Negro, a fun, richly brewed collection of recipes, historical facts, photos, and personal anecdotes. First published in 1958 by the National Council of Negro Women, it includes contributions from members in thirty-six states plus the District of Columbia and offers exceptional insight into American history and the African-American community at the time of its publication. As John Hope Franklin (whose own family owns a copy of the book) points out, much of the cultural information in the cookbook has never been passed down to successive generations.
Arranged according to the calendar year, the cookbook opens with a cake to be baked in celebration of both New Year's Day and the Emancipation Proclamation. Scattered among the recipes one finds excerpts from documents such as the Gettysburg Address and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Tributes to well-known figures like Harriet Tubman, Phillis Wheatley, and Booker T. Washington appear alongside brief bios and recipes in celebration of important but obscured figures. This delightful collection of delicious recipes helps us commemorate African-American history throughout the year.
