Braided Heritage: Recipes and Stories on the Origin of American Cuisine - Jessica B. Harris

Descriere Braided Heritage: Recipes and Stories on the Origin of American Cuisine - Jessica B. Harris

Discover the sweeping story of how Indigenous, European, and African traditions intertwined to form an entirely new cuisine, with over 100 recipes for the modern home cook--from the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Famer and star of the Netflix docuseries High on the Hog. \nOne 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--people whose family dishes go back to the crucial era when Native peoples encountered Europeans and the enslaved Africans they brought with them. \n \nThrough 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. \n \nWith recipes ranging from everyday meals to festive spreads, Braided Heritage offers a new, in-depth, delicious look at American culinary history.\n
