Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook by Toni Tipton-Martin

5.0

Not only is Jubilee filled with wonderful comfort food, but Toni Tipton-Martin also weaves in beautifully written historical notes about the evolution of African American cooking. You could sit down and read the narrative sections like a novel (or at least I could). While the recipes don’t take their inspiration from New England cuisine, they often feature fresh seafood, which is wonderful for us New Englanders in the summer. As the temperatures drop, however, I turn to the heavier, more homey recipes included in this cookbook’s pages.
