One of our preeminent culinary historians, Dr. Jessica B. Harris has conducted decades of research throughout the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa. In this telling of the origins of American food, though, she gets more personal. As heritage is history, she intertwines the larger sweeping past with stories and recipes from friends she’s made over the years—friends from all three threads of the braid, descended from Native peoples, Europeans, and Africans, whose family dishes speak to the crucial era when each thread formed a trinity, and the origins of American food.
Through this mix, we learn that Clear Broth Clam Chowder has both Indigenous and European roots; the same, too, with Enchiladas Suizas, tomatillo-smothered tortillas made “Swiss” with cheese and dairy; and that the hallmarks of African American food through the centuries have been evolution based on region, migration, and innovation, resulting in classics like Red Beans and Rice and Peach Bread Pudding Cupcakes with Bourbon Glaze.
With recipes ranging from everyday meals to festive spreads, Braided Heritage offers a new, in-depth, delicious look at American culinary history.]]>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11169072https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11169072Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11169072980EBOOKRecipes and Stories on the Origin of American Cuisineenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593139783/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=A celebration of African American cooking with 109 recipes from the National Museum of African American History and Culture's Sweet Home Café

From the Winner of the James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award
Now a Netflix Original Series

The grande dame of African American cookbooks and winner of the James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award stakes her claim as a culinary historian with a narrative history of African American cuisine.

Acclaimed cookbook author Jessica B. Harris has spent much of her life researching the food and foodways of the African Diaspora. High on the Hog is the culmination of years of her work, and the result is a most engaging history of African American cuisine. Harris takes the reader on a harrowing journey from Africa across the Atlantic to America, tracking the trials that the people and the food have undergone along the way.
From chitlins and ham hocks to fried chicken and vegan soul, Harris celebrates the delicious and restorative foods of the African American experience and details how each came to form such an important part of African American culture, history, and identity. Although the story of African cuisine in America begins with slavery, High on the Hog ultimately chronicles a thrilling history of triumph and survival. The work of a masterful storyteller and an acclaimed scholar, Jessica B. Harris's High on the Hog fills an important gap in our culinary history.]]>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C517850https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C517850Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/517850980EBOOKA Culinary Journey from Africa to Americaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781608191277/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2611384https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2611384Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2611384164BKBlack Power Kitchenenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781648290169/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2412505https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2412505Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2412505164BKA Celebration of African American Cookingenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781588346407/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=
