BLACK FOOD
Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora
A beautiful, rich, and groundbreaking book exploring Black foodways within America and around the world, curated by food activist and author of VEGETABLE KINGDOM, Bryant Terry.
In this stunning and deeply heartfelt tribute to Black culinary ingenuity, Bryant Terry captures the broad and divergent voices of the African Diaspora through the prism of food. From Homeland to Migration, Spirituality to Black Future, each chapter illuminates a part of the Black experience, offering delicious recipes, moving essays, and arresting art from such luminaries as Black Panther Party creative director Emory Douglas and American artist Daniel Minter.
More than just a cookbook, Black Food explores the interweaving of food and culture through original poetry and essays, including "Jollofing with Toni Morrison" by Sarah Ladipo Manyika, "Queer Intelligence" by Zoe Adjonyoh, "The Spiritual Ecology of Black Food" by Leah Penniman, and "Foodsteps in Motion" by Michael W. Twitty. The recipes are similarly expansive and generous, including sentimental favorites and fresh takes such as Crispy Cassava Skillet Cakes from Yewande Komolafe, Meatballs with Egusi and Squash from Edouardo Jordan, Jerk Chicken Ramen from Suzanne Barr, Avocado and Mango Salad with Spicy Pickled Carrot and Rof Dressing from Pierre Thiam, and Sweet Potato Pie from Jenné Claiborne.
With arresting visuals and innovative design, BLACK FOOD is a visual and spiritual feast that will satisfy any soul.
