“One of the hallmarks of Southern cooking, and soul food in particular, is regional ingredients used to their fullest potential. Tillery's book deserves space on the shelf of any cook who's serious about American cooking.” —Publishers Weekly
Add some soul to your home cooking! In this sumptuous feast of a book, Carolyn Quick Tillery serves up hundreds of delectable recipes for down-home-style meals. From traditional Southern dishes that have made a welcome comeback to sophisticated dishes and drinks born of the New South, these recipes capture the tastes, aromas, and emotions of centuries of African-American history.
Southern Homecoming Traditions pays tribute to the foods that sustained students at early black colleges in the Atlanta area. These foods nourished their movement for equality. They tell a story of their struggle for survival, a story of memories and celebration at a communal table. So pull up a chair and dig in! —A Sampling of the Recipes—
