Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking by Toni Tipton-Martin
Much more than a simple book of recipes, Jubilee celebrates the techniques, ingredients, and dishes that showcase the depth of African American cuisine. Cooks featured range from enslaved chefs to entrepreneurs and through their stories we see the rich history and legacy. The book offers classic recipes like Jambalaya and Buttermilk Fried Chicken, as well as some lesser known but equally spectacular treats such as Salmon Croquettes, Cornmeal Griddle Cakes, and Apple Hot Toddies. Plus, the photographs alongside are understated, classy, and mouthwatering.
Scope: 320 pages
