Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The New Yorker • NPR • Chicago Tribune • The Atlantic • BuzzFeed • Food52

Throughout her career, Toni Tipton-Martin has shed new light on African American cuisine's history, breadth, and depth. She’s introduced us to black cooks, some long forgotten, who established much of what’s considered to be our national cuisine. If Thomas Jefferson introduced French haute cuisine to this country, who do you think cooked it?
 
In Jubilee, Tipton-Martin brings this master's into our kitchens. We cook with these pioneering figures through recipes and stories, from enslaved chefs
 to middle- and upper-class writers and entrepreneurs. With more than 100 recipes, from classics such as Sweet Potato BiscuitsSeafood GumboButtermilk Fried Chicken, and Pecan Pie with Bourbon to lesser-known but even more decadent dishes like Bourbon & Apple Hot ToddiesSpoon Bread, and Baked Ham Glazed with ChampagneJubilee presents techniques, ingredients, and dishes that show the roots of African American cooking—deeply beautiful, culturally diverse, fit for celebration.
