An African American Cookbook: Living the Experience
Phoebe Bailey
An African American Cookbook: Traditional and Other Favorite Recipes is a bountiful collection of favorite foods and the memories that go with them. All of the dishes celebrate hearty African American eating; the traditional foods reflect the ingenious, resourceful, and imaginative Africans who made them.
Woven among the 400 recipes are rich historic anecdotes and sayings. They were discovered or lived by the cookbook's contributors, many of whose ancestors participated in the Underground Railroad, or lived nearby where it was active.
A cookbook rich in history and rich in easy-to-prepare, wonderfully tasty food!
Remembering the Underground Railroad . . .
Author Phoebe Bailey's congregation in historic Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has a long history with Underground Railroad activity. Today they offer Underground Railroad reenactments and a buffet of traditional African American food to their many visitors. This cookbook celebrates those historic events, when this church fed and then helped to spirit enslaved Africans to safety.
