Soul Food Love: Healthy Recipes Inspired by One Hundred Years

Soul Food Love: Healthy Recipes Inspired by One Hundred Years of Cooking in a Black Family : A Cookbook

NAACP Image Award Winner

A mother-daughter duo reclaims and redefines soul food by mining the traditions of four generations of black women and creating 80 healthy recipes to help everyone live longer and stronger.
Â
After bestselling author Alice Randall penned an op-ed in the New York Times titled â€œBlack Women and Fat,â€ chronicling her quest to be â€œthe last fat black womanâ€ in her family, she turned to her daughter, Caroline Randall Williams, for help. Together they overhauled the way they cook and eat, translating recipes and traditions handed down by generations of black women into easy, affordable, and healthfulâ€”yet still indulgentâ€”dishes, such as Peanut Chicken Stew, Red Bean and Brown Rice Creole Salad, Fiery Green Beans, and Sinless Sweet Potato Pie. Soul Food Love relates the authorsâ€™ fascinating family history (which mirrors that of much of black America in the twentieth century), explores the often fraught relationship African-American women have had with food, and forges a powerful new way forward that honors their cultural and culinary heritage.
