Synopsis

“Opie delves into the history books to find true soul in the food of the South, including its place in the politics of black America.”—NPR.org   Frederick Douglass Opie deconstructs and compares the foodways of people of African descent throughout the Americas, interprets the health legacies of black culinary traditions, and explains the concept of soul itself, revealing soul food to be an amalgamation of West and Central African social and cultural influences as well as the adaptations blacks made to the conditions of slavery and freedom in the Americas. Sampling from travel accounts, periodicals, government reports on food and diet, and interviews with more than thirty people born before 1945, Opie reconstructs an interrelated history of Moorish influence on the Iberian Peninsula, the African slave trade, slavery in the Americas, the emergence of Jim Crow, the Great Migration, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. His grassroots approach reveals the global origins of soul food, the forces that shaped its development, and the distinctive cultural collaborations that occurred among Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Americans throughout history. Opie shows how food can be an indicator of social position, a site of community building and cultural identity, and a juncture at which different cultural traditions can develop and impact the collective health of a community.   “Opie goes back to the sources and traces soul food’s development over the centuries. He shows how Southern slavery, segregation, and the Great Migration to the North’s urban areas all left their distinctive marks on today’s African American cuisine.”—Booklist   “An insightful portrait of the social and religious relationship between people of African descent and their cuisine.”—FoodReference.com

    “A truly original cookbook—combines the two most gratifying household pursuits, gardening and cooking, to produce unusual and delectable dishes.” —The New York Times   They’ve graced the loveliest gardens and the most elegant dinner tables but have often been overlooked when it comes to cooking. Rediscover what our ancestors knew: that flowers taste as wonderful as they smell.   Most cooks already depend upon certain flowers, probably without even thinking about it. Broccoli, artichokes and cauliflower—all flowers—are common foods. But have you ever tasted Dandelion Salad, Candied Lilacs, Marigold Cheese Soup, or Rose Petal Jam?   In more than two hundred recipes using twenty-six common garden flowers, author Leona Woodring Smith opens up a world of these truly original delights. Try borage, for its cucumber like taste and sky-blue color, in Cider Cup with Borage or Blender Borage Soup. Chives are easy to grow; try them in a Polka-Dot Potato Cake. Also try the Chinese-influenced Day-Lily Tempura or Day-Lilied Duck.
