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.
