Soul Food Legacy

While soul food has origins in the American South, the soul food narrative is a distinct part of the Black culinary experience. These books represent many generations of documenting, understanding, and celebrating soul food. Some are kitschy, some are meant for the home cook, and some are more storybook than cookbook, but they all lend a deeper understanding of the evolution of soul food in our community.
